Instructions

Prep the Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

Mix the Dough:
In a large bowl, gently fold together cake mix, Cool Whip, and applesauce until smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough airy.

Scoop & Shape:
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet (no need to flatten—they’ll puff as they bake!).

Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and tops spring back when touched.

Cool & Enjoy:
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar substitute or add sprinkles while warm.
