🌟 A Guilt-Free Treat You Can Feel Good About

Love lemon desserts but watching your points? These Weight Watchers Lemon Pound Cake Cookies are the perfect balance of bright citrus flavor and lightened-up indulgence. Soft and tender, they feel like a special treat but won’t throw off your plan.

Whether you’re celebrating a small win, hosting a brunch, or just craving something sweet, these cookies are here to support your journey — not sabotage it.

📝 Lightened-Up Ingredients

• 1/2 cup light butter (or WW-friendly butter spread like “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” light) – ~16 points
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces half the butter) – 0 points
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar – ~24 points
  (You can use monk fruit sweetener or erythritol for a lower point version — check the WW app)
• 2 large eggs – 0 points
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice – 0 points
• 1 tbsp lemon zest – 0 points
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – 0 points
• 2 cups all-purpose flour – 22 points
  (Swap 1/2 cup for whole wheat flour for extra fiber)
• 1 tsp baking powder – 0 points
• 1/4 tsp salt – 0 points
• Cooking spray or parchment paper for baking

👩‍🍳 Directions

1️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the light butter and sugar (or sugar substitute) until light and fluffy — about 2–3 minutes. This creates that classic soft texture without needing a full cup of butter.

2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the eggs, applesauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. The applesauce adds moisture and keeps the cookies soft without the extra fat.

3️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms — it should be a little sticky, but manageable.

4️⃣ Scoop & Bake

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set. Be careful not to overbake — they should be tender and soft.

5️⃣ Cool & Enjoy

Let cookies cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy the burst of lemony goodness with a cup of tea or as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up!

🍋 Optional Glaze (Add ~0.5 point per cookie)

If you want a bakery-style finish:

Mix:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (~6 points total)
• 1–2 tsp lemon juice
• Optional zest for extra punch

Drizzle lightly over cooled cookies. Adds minimal points but maximum zing!

💡 Tips to Make It Even More WW-Friendly:

• Swap all the sugar with zero-point sweetener for a very low-point cookie.
• Add a dash of almond extract for a bakery-style flavor boost.
• Freeze extras in a ziplock bag – great for portion control and quick sweet cravings.
• Try making mini cookies and reducing the baking time to 7–8 minutes — lower points per piece!

This soft, pillowy Turkish-inspired bread is perfect for wraps, dipping, or snacking, and it won’t blow your daily points! We’ve swapped ingredients to keep it WW-friendly without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Servings: 6 flatbreads
WW Points Estimate: 3–4 points per flatbread (check your app for accuracy based on your plan)

📝 Ingredients:

• 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour – 22 points
  (Swap 1 cup for whole wheat flour to increase fiber and lower points depending on your plan)
• 3/4 cup warm water – 0 points
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk – 0 points
• 1 tsp salt – 0 points
• 1½ tsp instant dry yeast – 0 points
• 1 tbsp olive oil – 4 points
• Chopped fresh parsley – 0 points
• Chili flakes – 0 points
• Cooking spray (optional) – 0–1 point

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1️⃣ Activate the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast. Slowly pour in the warm water and almond milk. Mix until it forms a shaggy dough.

2️⃣ Add Olive Oil

Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the dough and knead by hand (or mixer with dough hook) for about 8–10 minutes until soft, smooth, and elastic.

3️⃣ First Rise

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for about 60–90 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

4️⃣ Divide & Rest

Once risen, punch down the dough gently and divide it into 6 equal parts. Shape each into a ball and let rest for 10 minutes to make rolling easier.

5️⃣ Roll Out

Roll each ball into a flat circle or oval, about ¼ inch thick. Dust lightly with flour if it’s sticky.

6️⃣ Cook

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high. Lightly spray with cooking spray if needed. Cook each flatbread for about 2–3 minutes on each side until puffed and golden. They should form bubbles or pockets when flipped!

7️⃣ Garnish (Optional but Recommended!)

While still warm, lightly brush the tops with a drop of olive oil or a spritz of spray oil, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and chili flakes.

💡 Extra Tips to Keep It Light & Delicious:

• Swap half of the flour with whole wheat for added fiber.
• Skip the oil brushing and use light spray oil for 0 points.
• Freeze extras! These reheat beautifully and make a quick base for point-friendly pizzas or wraps.
• Serve with 0-point dips like non-fat Greek yogurt + garlic + lemon or salsa.
• Cut into triangles and toast for crispy low-point chips.

Why this recipe rocks for Weight Watchers:

This dish is a perfect low-point, high-flavor meal that’s packed with protein, veggies, and creamy goodness without the guilt. By swapping traditional pasta for spiralized zucchini noodles (“zoodles”), you drastically cut down carbs and calories, making it a satisfying yet light dinner option. Plus, shrimp provides lean protein, which helps keep you fuller longer.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles (about 4 cups)
• 1 pound (450g) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or use a non-stick spray for fewer points)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese (can substitute with light Greek yogurt for fewer points)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Prep Your Zoodles and Shrimp

• Start by spiralizing your zucchinis using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler. If you don’t have one, you can also thinly slice zucchini into ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
• Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels — this helps them sear better.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant — don’t let it burn!
• Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, until pink and slightly golden. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through. Shrimp should be opaque and firm.
• Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

• In the same pan, lower heat to medium-low and add the broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom for extra flavor.
• Stir in the low-fat cream cheese (or Greek yogurt). Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce. If needed, add a splash more broth to loosen it up.
• Add lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. The lemon adds brightness that balances the creaminess.

Step 4: Toss in the Zoodles

• Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the sauce and gently toss to coat evenly.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zoodles are tender but still have a slight crunch (al dente). Avoid overcooking or they’ll get soggy.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

• Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently toss everything together to combine and warm through.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

WW SmartPoints:

Approximately 4 SmartPoints per serving (based on using 1 tbsp olive oil and low-fat cream cheese). Points may vary slightly depending on brands and substitutions.

Pro Tips for Weight Watchers Success:

• Use cooking spray instead of olive oil to reduce points further.
• Swap cream cheese for plain non-fat Greek yogurt to lower points while keeping creaminess.
• Add extra veggies like cherry tomatoes or spinach to bulk up the dish without adding points.
• Pair with a side salad for a balanced meal that fills you up.

• Creamy texture without heavy cream or butter.

Stuffed Pepper Casserole

Ingredients:

1 pound extra-lean ground turkey or lean ground beef

2 bell peppers, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 (15 oz) can low-sodium beef broth

1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes (no sugar added)

1 cup uncooked brown rice (or cauliflower rice for fewer points)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 cup reduced-fat Mozzarella cheese, shredded

3/4 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

In a large skillet, cook the extra-lean ground turkey or lean ground beef, breaking it apart. Once it’s mostly cooked, add in the onions and bell peppers, and cook for 5-10 minutes until they start to soften.

Add the garlic to the meat mixture and cook for a minute or two, just until you can start to smell it.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the cheese, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Once the rice is tender (or cauliflower rice is cooked), stir in about half of the reduced-fat cheese until it’s melted and incorporated with the meat and rice.

Sprinkle the remaining reduced-fat cheese over the top, put the lid back on the pan, and let the cheese melt. If your pan is oven-safe, you can put it under the broiler to melt the cheese faster.

Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
