Weight watcher butter cookies
Makes: 20 cookies
Points: 1 point each (most plans)
🧈 Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp light butter (I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup zero-calorie sweetener (Swerve, Monk Fruit, etc.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- Pinch of salt
🍪 Instructions
1. Make the dough
- In a bowl, cream together light butter + sweetener.
- Add egg white, vanilla, and applesauce and mix until smooth.
- Add flour + salt and mix until soft dough forms.
2. Shape the cookies
- Chill dough for 20 minutes (helps low-fat dough hold shape).
- Roll into 20 small balls and flatten slightly with fingers or fork.
3. Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake 8–10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool before removing from tray.
✨ Tips to Keep Points Low
- Using applesauce reduces the amount of butter needed
- Light butter keeps the buttery flavor without heavy points
- Swerve/Monk Fruit keeps it sugar-free
- Make small cookies for portion control
