don't know the calories, but shouldn't be too bad but the protein is 4 grams per cookie and they are good for you with the oats, pecans, peanut butter

OMG this sounds soo good!! I love no bake cookies! Thank you very much for the recipe..I will make them today.

You are going to get me craving these.  One of these days I will make this.  I bet Dennis will eat them too.  Can't go to wrong with peanut butter.

To reduce the fat in these cookies I only use 1/2 stick of butter and add 3/4 cup MORE peanut butter -- To up the protien I only use 1/4 C cocoa and add 4 scoops of Chocolate protien powder -- however add the protien powder to the oats  BEFORE mixing into the hot mixture or it Clumbs horrrrribly!! If you use protien powder you may want to use a bit less sugar.

Here is another good cookie --- they are Flourless....

1 C peanut butter
1 C. Splenda
1 Egg

Roll into balls flatten with fork Bake at 350 for 12 -15 minutes.  Makes 12 cookies.

i like the idea of more peanut butter. i will give that a try.  that alone adds to the protein.  think i will stick with the cocoa though.  thanks for the other recipe also. vick
