Hello, everyone! Its that time of the year again…Valentine’s Day! What holiday gives you a better excuse to make the most deliciously sappy girly recipe possible? I would hate for you NOT to take advantage of this holiday because you’re worried you’ll ruin your New Year’s diet and spoil all of your healthy resolutions, so I’m excited to share this 4 ingredient, 60 calorie cookie recipe with you! That’s right! All 4 ingredients (EASY) and 60 calories (YES PLEASE!) in these light and fluffy cookies will have you thinking you’re on cloud 9!
These cookies are so light and fluffy. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you pick one up and bite into it! Wanna know why? Well, these cookies are made with Cool Whip, strawberry cake mix, 2 eggs, and some festive holiday sprinkles. You don’t believe me? See ingredients pictured below:
It’s true! All you have to do is combine the cool whip and the eggs. Once they’re completely combined add in one box of strawberry cake mix and as many sprinkles as your heart desires.
The cookie batter should be thick and sticky once everything is mixed. Place it in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before continuing on. This is a necessary step, so don’t skip it!
After your batter is chilled pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F, wrap a cookie sheet in foil, and and pour some powdered sugar in a small bowl. You will dip each cookie in the powdered sugar before placing it on the cookie sheet to bake. This is my favorite part of the recipe and gives each cookie just the right amount of sweetness it needs!
Scoop the dough out with a spoon or scoop. As you can tell from the pictures below, I used an ice cream scoop. Roll the dough into balls and roll around in powdered sugar, completely covering the entire ball of dough. When covered, place on to your cookie sheet and repeat until the cookie sheet is full. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie, these sweets grow in the oven.
Let the cookies bake for about 10 – 12 minutes. Obviously, larger cookies will take longer to make, so scoop accordingly! When finished, set aside to cook an dig in!
