The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidative effects of Opuntia humifusa powder and determine the optimal composite recipe by three different amounts of Opuntia humifusa powder, sugar and butter in cookies prepared with Opuntia humifusa powder. In regard to its antioxidant effects, Opuntia humifusa powder had a total phenolic content and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of 6.64±0.54 mg/g and 90.12±0.42 %, respectively. response surface methodology was used to obtain sixteen experimental points(including three replicates for Opuntia humifusa powder, sugar and butter) and Opuntia humifusa cookie formulation was optimized using rheology. The results of the sensory evaluation produced very significant values for color (p<0.05), flavor (p<0.05), texture (p<0.05), sweetness (p<0.05), appearance (p<0.05), overall quality (p<0.05), and the results of instrumental analysis showed significant values in sweetness (p<0.001), hardness (p<0.001), lightness (p<0.001), redness (p<0.001), yellowness (p<0.01). As a results, the optimum formulations obtained by numerical and graphical methods were found to be 3.11 g of Opuntia humifusa powder, 35.00 g of sugar and 50.54 g of butter.
