The main goal of this work was to develop cookie-type biscuits added with ora-pro-nóbis (Pereskia aculeataMiller) flour (FOPN), following three formulations: control cookie with 0% FOPN (F1), 2% FOPN (F2), and 5% FOPN (F3). FOPN showed 6.04% moisture, 14.56% ash content, 3.30% lipids, 11.9% crude protein, 31.37% crude fiber, 2.49% total titratable acidity (TA), and pH of 5.09. For the cookies, the parameters moisture (F1: 4.97%, F2: 5.04%, F3: 5.06%), protein (F1: 5.9%, F2: 6.2%, F3: 6.5%), crude fiber (F1: 1.06%, F2: 5.19%, F3: 6.22%), ash content (F1: 0.99%, F2: 1.37%, F3: 1.88%), and color (F1: 50.07, F2: 61.42, F3: 69.01) showed a significant increase with increasing FOPN (p < 0.05), while other parameters, such as lipids (F1: 14.02%, F2: 13.31%, F3: 13.30%), pH (F1: 7.10, F2: 6.95, F3: 6.92), and total soluble solids (F1: 34.4 ºBrix, F2: 33.2 ºBrix, F3: 33.1 ºBrix), showed significant reduction with increasing FOPN (p<0.05). TA was the same for all formulations (3.46%). The results indicate that FOPN can contribute to the cookies becoming a protein source product, besides increasing the fiber content of the food.
