A cookie dough dip is a delightful and versatile treat that can be made Weight Watchers-friendly with a few smart ingredient swaps. This lighter version captures all the indulgent flavors and creamy texture of traditional cookie dough but skips the high-calorie ingredients like butter and sugar. By using a base of low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt, the dip maintains its rich and smooth consistency while significantly cutting back on fat and calories.
To replicate the classic cookie dough taste, powdered peanut butter mixed with water is a great alternative to full-fat peanut butter, providing the nutty flavor with fewer points. Sweetness comes from sugar-free maple syrup, which adds just the right amount of sweetness without the extra sugar. A touch of vanilla extract enhances the flavor, while mini chocolate chips bring in the iconic cookie dough vibe. A pinch of salt ties it all together, balancing the sweetness and making the dip even more irresistible.
This Weight Watchers-friendly cookie dough dip is perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without feeling guilty. It pairs wonderfully with apple slices, graham crackers, or even pretzels for a sweet-and-salty twist. Whether served as a party appetizer or an afternoon snack, it’s a crowd-pleaser that doesn’t derail your health goals. Plus, it’s quick and easy to prepare, making it an ideal treat for busy days.
