Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 ounces Light cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Additional vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, and sugar substitute. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back when lightly touched. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Step 9

Add the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and additional vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.

Step 10

Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a dollop of filling onto the flat side of half the cookies.

Step 11

Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich-style pies, pressing gently to secure.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly whoopie pies!
