“If you are careful,' Garp wrote, 'if you use good ingredients, and you don't take any shortcuts, then you can usually cook something very good. Sometimes it is the only worthwhile product you can salvage from a day; what you make to eat. With writing, I find, you can have all the right ingredients, give plenty of time and care, and still get nothing. Also true of love. Cooking, therefore, can keep a person who tries hard sane.” ― John Irving, The World According to Garp

Red Velvet Cool Whip cookies

Cool Whip cookies

Ingredients
  • 1 box of cake mix - whatever flavour floats your boat; I obviously used Red Velvet
  • 1 egg
  • 4 ounces of Cool Whip (about ½ a container or a heaping 1 cup)
  • Powdered Sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In large bowl - mix the cake mix, Cool Whip and egg. A large bowl will give your plenty of room to fold the mix and make sure everything gets mixed together evenly.
  3. Pour powdered sugar into a small bowl (refill as needed). Pinch off a small portion of dough - about a teaspoons worth and roll it into a ball.
  4. Roll the ball through the powdered sugar until it has an even layer of powdered sugar.
  5. Place cookie dough about a ½ inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper just grease the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Once out of the oven let them cool off on a wire rack. These will keep in an airtight container for up to a week- if you manage to make them last that long. They're delicious, though, so if you're like me, they will be gone well before then.
