High in protein, low in sugar and bursting with flavor, these cookies are worth adding to your dessert rotation. Serve them in August when blueberries are at their freshest for the best possible flavor or make them from frozen blueberries for a taste of summer in the winter cold.

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1½ cups plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
