These Easy Two Point Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are made using a box of cake mix, eggs, oil and sugar substitute. They make a perfect dessert or fantastic to bring to your next potluck!

Looking for a few other low point cookie? You’ll need to try my  2 Point Soft Ginger Cookies ,Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies or my Two Freestyle Smart Point Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are a must try!

Now, I know you’ll look at the ingredient list and see vegetable oil and think to yourself  “These cookies can’t be low in points.” But…they are!

 I made these cookies 3 different times to try to perfect them. I made the first batch with 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce and the texture just wasn’t right, then I made them using 1/3 cup light butter and they were greasy and did not taste “right”-so then I decided to use 1/3 vegetable oil-and the texture was right on point!

To my surprise and maybe your surprise- when I added the recipe in the WW app- with the 1/3 cup vegetable oil-I was shocked to see that for 2 dozen ( which I usually make,  they would be 3 points each) but I realized I had left over dough and I ended up making 26 cookies- which makes these only 2 Freestyle Smart Points each-and a decent size for a 2 point cookie!  

The key to keeping these crinkle cookies soft is to not overcook them. You’ll want to bake until just set-which means that the edges of the cookie should be slightly firm or dry to the touch and the top of the cookie should no longer look too wet. This is most often given with chewy cookies, or  brownie-like chocolate cookies where you want to make sure that the finished cookie is not overdone and the amount of browning around the edge does not necessarily give you a definitive result on how done it is. The vegetable oil makes these cookies soft, almost cake-like.
