I just love desserts like this no bake chocolate peanut butter cookie that doesn't require you to heat up the oven. This is as easy as stirring all the ingredients in a pan and dropping the batter onto parchment paper and just waiting for them to set. These can easily be made into lower-calorie or Weight Watcher-friendly cookies by just replacing a few ingredients.

I'm sure everyone has had no-bake cookies before and these are Weight Watcher friendly so you don't feel so guilty eating them. Weight Watchers recently changed their plan to myWW which includes all three points and on purple, blue, and green they are 3 points for cookie. I use a small tablespoon ice cream scoop to measure these cookies out. Makes 30 to 35 cookies.

Ingredients Needed

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie - Recipe Diaries (2)
  • Butter - Unsalted butter is the most commonly used type of butter in baking, as it allows for more control over the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Milk - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
  • Sugar - I have not tested this recipe with any sugar substitutes but there are quite a few people in the comments that have. Check those if that interests you.
  • Cocoa powder - Is a product of cocoa beans that have been roasted, fermented, and processed to remove the fat, leaving behind a dry and bitter powder. I like Hershey's Cocoa Powder
  • Peanut butter - Use good peanut butter that is just ground-up peanuts and no other ingredients added to it. Costco’s Kirland’s brand is really good for this.Can always sub PB2 to make it lower points.
  • Vanilla extract - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.
  • Quick-cooking oats- Also known as rolled oats, are a type of oatmeal that has been steamed and rolled to create flat, oval-shaped flakes. They are a popular breakfast food and can be cooked on the stove or in the microwave with water or milk.

Recipe FAQS

How to lower WW points for these cookies?

WW really stresses the fact that you can eat anything you like while following their program and that is one thing I really like about their program. I'm still allowed to eat these cookies and I don't mind the fact that they are 3 points per cookie. You can have 2 for 6 points. This recipe uses real butter and sugar and that is also still allowed on WW. If you look into dessert recipes on the WW app they don't use ingredients like Splenda or Xylitol to help lower the points of their recipes. They use REAL sugar.

Can I use Powdered peanut butter?

Yes, you can use powdered peanut butter but I prefer the taste of real peanut butter in these cookies. Follow the instructions on the back of the container to get ½ cup.

Can I use sugar substitutes for these cookies?

There are many different sugar substitutes out on the market these days and I do not experiment with any of them. I've tried in the past and the side effects I'd get from using some of them resulted in severe stomach pain and bloating. If you wish to use any of these substitutes in this recipe then please use the WW recipe builder to figure out points for that. I only figure out points for the recipe listed below.

    People rename recipes all the time Kelly and make them for different diets. The ingredients just happened to be WW friendly as well.

  2. Kelly Jones says

    This is the same recipe I always use. It’s never been called WW.

  3. Kittykat says

    I substitute the regular sugar for the Volupta Monkfruit and is 2 points per cookie if you keep the pecans in the recipe

  4. Karen Patnode says

    Thank you! I absolutely loved these cookies. I think I’ll be eating these cookies off and on forever.

  5. NoBullShipped says

    I just want to clear the air and inform everyone that sugar alcohols or substitutes such as MonkFruit are not chemical infused nor artificial; Please do your research.

  6. Jenna says

    Jay - I don't think you understand how WW works. Please do your research before making false claims like this. WW is a program that allows you to eat whatever you like. Even cookies. To be successful with weight loss you need to understand portion control, be mindful of what you're eating, and still be in a calorie deficit. You can still eat cookies and lose weight if you have a positive mindset.

  7. Jay says

    1 cup of sugar half cup light butter 3 cups of oats lol weight watchers recipe? Only like 10 points per cookie but let's call it weight watchers anyway
