Low-Calorie No-Bake Cookies

Skip to Recipe

In the past couple years I have been on a weight loss journey, which means lowering my caloric intake, but it does NOT mean cutting out all sweets! I have a massive sweet tooth, so my weight loss journey quickly turned into a research journey: how do I make the best desserts with the fewest calories?

This is my favorite low-cal dessert I've created so far. It's classic and homey. Comforting and reminiscent of childhood. The ingredient swaps do not take away from the sweetness or the joy these cookies bring!

Each cookie is only 47 calories if made according to the recipe below. If you are not counting calories and you're looking for a full-calorie recipe, click here for my traditional no-bake cookie recipe.

You can reduce the calories even further by using the ingredient swaps exclusively, but I have found the taste and texture are better when I use both standard and alternative ingredients.

These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They are best within 3-5 days.
