Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar-free vanilla pudding mix (dry)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces oil/butter)
• 1/4 cup light butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or substitute with Swerve for zero points)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 reduced-fat Oreo cookies (or Weight Watchers-friendly chocolate sandwich cookies), crushed into chunks
• Optional: 1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (if batter is too thick)

Instructions

Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar-free pudding mix, baking powder, and salt.

Cream Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the light butter, sugar (or Swerve), applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender. Fold in the crushed Oreo chunks. If the dough is too thick, add almond milk 1 tbsp at a time.

Scoop & Bake
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool & Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
