Angel Food Cake Cookies: A Weight Watchers Delight, easy and delicious recipe, making every weekend 😋😋Must express something to keep getting my recipes.

Why Angel Food Cake Makes the Perfect Cookie Base

Angel food cake is famously light because it’s made almost entirely from egg whites, which gives it a fluffy structure without butter or oil. Most cookie recipes rely on fat for richness, but these cookies rely on the aeration in the cake mix, producing cookies that feel indulgent yet naturally lower in calories and fat.

Benefits of using angel food cake as a cookie base:

• Soft and airy texture

• Low in fat and calories

• Sweetness without heaviness

• No butter, eggs, or oil required

Because of these qualities, these cookies are ideal for Weight Watchers members or anyone seeking a lighter treat.

🍪 Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1 — Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

STEP 2 — Mix the Dough

In a large bowl:

1. Pour in the angel food cake mix

2. Add ⅓ cup water

3. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough begins to form

4. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry

Goal: Fluffy, sticky dough resembling marshmallow fluff — not runny batter.

---

STEP 3 — Add Optional Flavors

Gently fold in any flavorings:

• Vanilla extract

• Lemon or orange zest

• Sugar-free sprinkles

• Almond extract

Keep folding light to preserve the airy texture.

---

STEP 4 — Scoop Cookies

• Use a small cookie scoop or two spoons to drop dollops onto the lined baking sheet

• Leave space between cookies (they expand slightly)

• Wet your fingers to smooth tops if desired

• Keep scoops small for even baking

---

STEP 5 — Bake

• Bake 9–12 minutes depending on size

• Cookies are done when:

  • Tops are dry

  • Edges are lightly golden

  • Centers are sponge-like but not sticky

Tip: Do not overbake, or the cookies become dense.

---

STEP 6 — Cool

Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
They will firm slightly but remain soft and fluffy.

---

STEP 7 — Optional Glaze

Once cooled, drizzle a light glaze or dust with powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative) for an elegant finishing touch.

🥣 Troubleshooting

• Dough too runny: Add 2–4 tbsp extra cake mix

• Cookies spread too much: Use less water or chill dough 10 minutes before baking

• Cookies dense: Overmixing collapses the fluff; fold gently

• Cookies stick: Always use parchment or silicone mat

• Cookies crack: Normal, adds charm

---

🧺 Storage & Freezing

Room Temperature

• Airtight container, 3–4 days

• Remain soft but may lose slight fluff

Refrigeration

• 5–6 days

• Slightly chewier, still delicious

Freezing

• Freeze on a tray 1 hour, then transfer to freezer bags

• Thaw at room temperature 10 minutes

Make-Ahead

• Mix dough up to 24 hours in advance

• Scoop and bake when ready

• Fully baked cookies can also freeze; reheat gently

---

🫖 Serving Suggestions

• Green tea, Earl Grey, or coffee

• Fruit salad or low-cal hot chocolate
