These soft chocolate cookies are coated in powdered sugar, creating a delightful crinkle effect when baked. Perfect for any occasion, they are easy to make and delicious to enjoy.
Combine the chocolate cake mix and the frozen whipped topping in a mixing bowl until a thick dough forms.
Use a sturdy spoon to mix as the dough will be thick and sticky.
Scoop out portions of the dough using a spoon and drop them into a bowl of powdered sugar.
Coat your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking while handling the dough.
Roll the dough portions into balls, ensuring they are fully coated in powdered sugar.
Roll the balls gently to maintain their shape and ensure even coating.
Place the coated dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Leave enough space between the balls as they will spread slightly during baking.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cookies to ensure they don't overbake; they should appear slightly underdone.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the baking sheet helps the cookies set and prevents them from breaking.
