Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 0.333 cup water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 pieces fresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor and pulse until finely ground, yielding about 1/2 cup of strawberry powder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and the strawberry powder.
Add the water to the dry mixture and gently stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the light texture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and the cookies have puffed up.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
If desired, garnish each cookie with a small slice of fresh strawberry before serving for an extra burst of flavor and a decorative touch.
