🍪 Ingredients

• 1 box (approx. 16 oz) angel food cake mix (just the dry mix)

• ⅓ cup water

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: lemon zest, sugar-free sprinkles, or mini sugar-free chocolate chips

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick spray.

2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine angel food cake mix, water, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and slightly fluffy. (Batter will be sticky — that’s okay!)

3. Scoop and bake: Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden and spring back when touched.

5. Cool and serve: Let cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Weight Watchers Estimate:
