Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Strawberry Cool Whip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, combine the lemon cake mix, half of the Cool Whip, and the egg. Mix until fully blended.
Scoop 1-inch portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat in powdered sugar before placing on baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers appear less glossy.
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Mix the remaining Cool Whip with the strawberry Jello until well combined and fluffy.
Frost each cooled cookie with the strawberry Jello frosting.
Top with diced strawberries for garnish.
