Apple Cinnamon Whippersnappers
For Cookies:
1 large egg 2 cups Cool Whip 1/3 cup apple pie filling 1 pkg. (approx. 18 oz.) spice cake mix
For Rolling Cookie Balls:
1/2 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Start by chilling 2 teaspoons in your freezer - you want them really cold to make it easier to form the cookies.
Spray cookie sheets with Pam or line with parchment, which should also be sprayed with Pam.
Whisk the egg in a large mixing bowl.
Measure out 2 cups of Cool Whip and stir into egg.
Place the 1/3 cup of apple pie filling in a small bowl & cut apples with a sharp knife until they're in 1/4" pieces.
Add the apples to the mixing bowl and stir them in by hand very gently.
Sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the mixing bowl. Fold in gently, mixing only until everything is combined.
Place the 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar in a separate small bowl (sift only if it has lumps). Add the cinnamon and stir combined.
Drop the cookie dough by chilled and rounded teaspoonfuls into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Roll around in dough with your fingers to coat on all sides. (If dough is too sticky, refrigerate for one hour.)
Please each cookie dough ball on the prepared cookies sheets. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, only until they are firm to the touch when tapped very lightly on the top with a fingertip.
Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then move to wire rack to cool completely.
