1 Point Cookies - Yummy!

As I'm sitting here writing this, I'm amazed that I've found another sweet treat that is low in points and didn't require me to purchase anything!

I found a recipe for Chewy Cocoa Fudge cookies on the words to eat by blog - whose author, Debbie Koenig, is also on Weight Watchers. She said she got the original version from a Cooking Light recipe. I've altered her altered recipe so I'm not sure how much this mirrors the original recipe.

Heat oven to 350F

1/2 cup ap flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

1 tsp instant coffee

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

7 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2/3 cup splenda

1/3 packed brown sugar (I used light brown, where Koenig called for dark - feel free to use whatever you have on hand)

5 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Mix applesauce, yogurt, vanilla, instant coffee, cocoa, and sugar mixture - stir to combine. Add flour mixture, stiring until mixed. You may have to do what I consider to be a more mash like action to combine the dry and wet ingredients. Place mixture into a baking pan coated with cooking spray. I had trouble spreading the dough here, so I placed in the oven for two minutes. Then pulled pan out and used a measuring cup to spread the softer mixture across the bottom of the pan for a more bar like structure. Replace in oven and bake for about 8 more minutes.

Cool in pan for 2 minutes, remove from pan and cut into 12 bars for 1 point each. Yes you read that right 1 point each!
