Ingredients:
- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but oh-so-delicious!)

- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for that touch of indulgence. They’ll melt just right and add a little surprise to every bite.

- Allow to cool before serving, but I won’t blame you if you sneak a warm one right off the sheet!
How to serve 3-Ingredient Angel Food Cake Mix Cookies
These cookies are best served warm, with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk beside them. They’re lovely on their own, but you could also offer them up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a little extra indulgence. Family and friends will surely gather ‘round to enjoy these simple delights.
How to store 3-Ingredient Angel Food Cake Mix Cookies
If you happen to have any cookies left (a rare occurrence in my kitchen!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can stay fresh for a few days, but I bet they won’t last that long once everyone gets a taste!
Tips to make 3-Ingredient Angel Food Cake Mix Cookies
- Be gentle when mixing the dough; you want to keep it light and airy!
- Experiment with add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for a twist on flavor.
- If you use a silicone baking mat, the cookies won’t stick, which makes cleanup a breeze.
Variations
Feel free to get adventurous with your flavors! Replace half of the water with fresh fruit puree, like pureed strawberries or bananas, for a fruity twist. You could also sprinkle in some cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced variation that warms the heart.
