Here’s a light and airy Angel Food Cake Cookie recipe — a sweet, cloud-like cookie inspired by classic angel food cake.
Angel Food Cake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box (about 1/4 oz) angel food cake mix
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Whip egg whites
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually fold in the angel food cake mix, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
Step 3: Shape cookies
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Gently smooth tops with the back of the spoon if desired.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden and spring back when touched.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 5: Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy as a light snack or with tea/coffee.
Tips
- For extra flavor, fold in mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or finely chopped nuts before baking.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter — it should stay light and airy.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days; cookies are best eaten fresh.
If you like, I can also provide a frosted or sandwich-style version with whipped cream or cream cheese filling that turns these cookies into a dessert treat.
