Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cookies don’t stick.
Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix, egg, and water. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. If you’d like to add any mix-ins, now is the time to fold in your chosen ingredients, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or sprinkles.
Step 3: Form the Cookies
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. These cookies will spread a little during baking, so give them enough room.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges and set in the center.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Best Heavenly Angel Food Cake Cookies
- Use Fresh Cake Mix: Make sure your angel food cake mix is fresh for the best texture and rise.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Be careful not to overwork the dough when mixing; just stir until the ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing can affect the texture of the cookies.
- Control the Sweetness: If you’d like to make the cookies a little sweeter, consider adding a small amount of sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
- Mix-in Ideas: These cookies are highly customizable! Try adding chocolate chips, shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts to add variety and extra flavor to each batch.
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container or bag.
