Ingredients you need to make Weight Watchers No Bake Cookies:
- 1 ⅓ cup Quaker oats, measured dry
- ⅓ cup crushed pretzels (I used 30g of Rold Gold tiny twist)
- 1.5 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup light or reduced fat peanut butter
- ¼ cup Smucker’s no sugar added caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
How to make Weight Watchers No Bake Cookies (step by step):
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Letting it sit in the fridge will help the batter stick together, and make it easier to roll them into balls. You could also let it sit overnight in the fridge.
- Using about 1 tablespoon of the mix, roll it into a ball. You can lightly wet your hands to help them not stick.
- Keep these stored in the fridge.
- Makes 22 no bake cookies, but you can make larger ones if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the points. (44 points divided by however many cookies you make).

Different ways to change up this recipe:
- If you don’t like sweet and salty, and just want sweet, that’s an easy fix! Leave out the salty pretzels, and you’ll have caramel chocolate chip no bake cookies to curb your sweet tooth.
- The great thing about no-bake cookies is you can play around with the ingredients. You can add in some dried fruit, any kind of chopped nuts, and any kind of chocolate chips. I have made these with white chocolate chips before and they were so good.
- Lily’s No Added sugar butterscotch chips would be delicious with the pretzels and caramel.
- To make these cookies 1 point each, use PB2 instead of peanut butter. You’ll have to mix the PB2 with water before adding it to the batter.
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers No Bake Cookies:
- I buy the no sugar added Smucker’s caramel syrup. if you can’t find this brand, any caramel syrup will work in this recipe.
- Adding a little water to your hands while you are rolling the cookies into balls will help keep the mixture from sticking to your hands. Or you could spray your hands with Pam spray.
- The cookies will store well in the fridge for up to 7 days (but you’ll eat them well before that!)
- I use Quaker oats but quick oats will work just as well. You can use any kind of nut butter in these. I prefer them with peanut butter but almond butter will also be delicious.

Hi Kate,
Made these last week, used maple syrup (the real stuff!) instead of honey….OMG delish!!
Making them again for family, for Christmas (along with Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana cookies)
Thank you again for coming up with easy, WW friendly cookie recipes! (Amazing the number of points in the
standard cookie recipe….6 or more points PER cookie! Oh, no!)
Is it 2sp per cookie? Thanks. WarriorValerie
Yes 2 points each
Why not quick oats? Just wondering…
Just preference, you can use quick oats if you wish
Can you use PB2 instead of peanut butter
Yes but I would use it in wet form
Hey just wondering if you have a good alternative to peanut butter that wouldnโt alter to points? I know Iโm weird just really HATE peanut butter but the cookies look amazing and I want to try them!
Hi Denise, you need something “sticky” you could try honey or maple syrup, although I am not sure if that would alter the points, are all nut butters out?
Where can you buy the Smuckerโs No Sugar Added Caramel Sauce?
Hi Gabi, not sure if I picked it up in the U.S or I found it here, I buy so many different foods I forget sometimes ๐ Did you try walmart?

Do these freeze well?
I have never frozen them since they do last a good 4-5 days in the fridge, I would think they would freeze ok though
OMG these are so good! Great recipe! ?
So glad you enjoyed them Anthony ๐
Wondering what is the sweetener in the caramel sauce?
Hi, sorry I don’t have any in my cupboard at the moment, maybe try google?
I made these recently. They tasted wonderful but didn’t stick together very well and fell apart easily. Getting ready to make another batch. Any suggestions you might have for me as to what may help make them stick together better.
Thank you so much!
Hi Sheri, maybe just increase one of the wet ingredients or PB just a tiny pinch, and wet your hands a little while shaping them
