Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, and sugar substitute. Whisk until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back when lightly touched. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and additional vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a dollop of filling onto the flat side of half the cookies.
Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwich-style pies, pressing gently to secure.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly whoopie pies!
