Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Egg whites
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly coat them with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, and egg whites. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden and the tops have set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat cake mix cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
