Angel Food Cookies

Skill Level: Incredibly Easy
Sticker Shock: $$$$
Taste: ★★★★

These are the easiest cookies I have ever made, maybe even easier than the break apart dough cookies you can buy at the store! They are also very tasty. My husband didn't care much for them, but he likes extra stuff in his cookies (he's not fond of shortbread or sugar cookies, either). Oh well...They are also versatile—you could really use any fruity flavor of diet carbonated beverage. We just happened to have some peach on hand. These are also decent-sized cookies, so if you have to limit yourself to just one, you can still feel like you have satisfied your sweet tooth (without a lot of calories and fat, even!).

Ingredients:

1/2 cup diet carbonated beverage
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 angel food cake mix, 14.5oz package
cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with the cooking spray.

Put the carbonated beverage, almond extract, and angel food mix in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat at a medium pace until it becomes smooth. Set 28 equal spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for approximately 9 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet using a spatula and let cool before serving.
