Weight Watchers No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie

I just love desserts that don'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.

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.

I prefer storing these in the fridge so they stay set. These cookies take up to an hour to set, but if you let them set in the fridge you can eat them faster!

How to lower points of 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.

A lot of people have this mindset when they first start WW that every recipe they find has to be so low in points, so they start making substitutions to help lower the points. One of my goals for this site is to still be able to make recipes like this with a crap ton of butter and sugar and still be able to lose weight. However, I still do get recipe substitution suggestions sometimes from people asking how they can make the cookie 1 point or 0 points.

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.

Sugar Substitutes?

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.

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

    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.

    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.
