Ingredients You need to start gathering to make these Angel Food Cake Mix Cookies

- Angel food cake mix - I prefer to use Betty Crocker, but you can use any brand.
- Water
- Egg (at room temperature)

How to Make Angel Food Cake Mix Cookies
Once you have your simple ingredients prepped and ready, it’s time to get baking!
Prepare the dough by combining the angel food cake mix, water and egg in a bowl until blended together completely.
Next, use a cookie scoop to scoop teaspoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake your Angel Food Cake Cookies in the preheated oven 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Hint: Use a new piece of parchment paper for each set of cookies you put into the oven, as even though this is an easy recipe, we are not using non stick cooking spray, so the cookies do stick to the parchment paper.
Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate. Enjoy your freshly made angel food cake mix cookies!
Top Baking Tip
If you flip over the spatula and remove the cookies, they come off pretty easily. I tried this on a greased baking sheet without the parchment paper and the cookies spread too much. It's not impossible to do it this way, but your cookies will be a little thinner and a smidge more fragile.

Plus, these cookies stay soft and chewy on the inside while remaining delightfully crunchy on the outside! They are perfect for dunking into a cold glass of milk or topping with a scoop of ice cream!
And did I mention how affordable these cookies are? You don’t need any expensive ingredients or fancy equipment; just an angel food cake mix from your local grocery store (or even Amazon!) and 20 minutes of baking time. What more could you ask for?

Scrape bowl and put the frosting into a zippered plastic bag and cut one corner off and use that to pipe the frosting onto a cookie. Place another cookie on top of it and you have a Angel Food Cake Whoopie Pie!
