Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free orange cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cookie cups are baking, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, whip the fat-free cream cheese using a hand mixer until soft and creamy.
Add powdered sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the lite whipped topping until the filling is smooth and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the tin before carefully removing them.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each cookie cup with the cream cheese filling.
Optionally, garnish with a pinch of orange zest for added color and flavor. Serve and enjoy!
