I have a question, am I reading this correctly..use a teaspoon of dough for each cookie? Aren't they small?

I agree with comments about not being able to roll in to balls. good suggestion to chill dough first. Also need to bake longer than suggested, may 10 - 14 minutes.

thanks for finding this. Unfortunately a pack costs $10.50 plus potage so isn't really cost effective. I was hoping I could substitute real whipped cream. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful for them

I plan to make these. Note that some people can not put them in to balls, would it not be a good idea to place in refrigerator for a 1/2 or or so to firm up mixture? Then make the balls and roll into powder sugar.

Hi there! If you are having trouble shaping the batter into 1 teaspoon balls, you can certainly refrigerate the dough for up to 1/2 hour. We would love to hear back about how they turned out. Enjoy!

Make these often--they are a much requested cookie--especially for bridal or baby showers. Have tried w/strawberry, pineapple, orange lemon. Had a hard time rolling dough into ball so tried chilling for about 30 min. Then I dropped dough into bowl w/confectioner's sugar. Roll the dough around w/spoon it will form a ball. Put any remaining dough back in the fridge till you are ready for the rest. Really much easier!

Thanks for the suggestion! These would make a good, bite-sized confection for a pot luck or summer family picnic with different flavors of cake mixes used. I will definitely chill the dough before forming the balls.

Made these with fat free whipped topping for a Weight Watchers treat. Wound up with 63 cookies, 1 point each. However, had a few problems. No way could I "shape into a ball". I used a teaspoon and made a mounded drop, couldn't roll in the sugar so used a shaker to heavily coat with the powdered sugar. Used parchment paper instead of spray so the bottoms wouldn't burn. Results FANTASTIC!

I use parchment paper for all my cookies, works like magic! I use small "ice cream scooper" Sam's has them. also I chill them before I dip. my granddaughter likes to use icing piping bag with large star tip. wal-mart has Wilton brand hope this works to put fun back into cookie making day....

A quick easy Recipe that everyone loves. I made with Lemon Cake mix with Key Lime cake mixes. Lemon was the favorite. My Dad raves about these cookies so much we gave some to a friend up visiting and they ate them all in one day. Naturally I whipped up a batch for their drive home. Every time I bite into one I hear MR Food saying "OOOH it's so Good!"
