I have always used the recipe my mom handed down to me and I could never get the cookies to harden. I tried this one tonight and they firmed up very quickly and are really good. My mom's recipe has been replaced! I followed the ingredients exactly and didn't have any problems at all. I will use this one again and again. Very quick and easy.

I supervised chidlren making these this summer and the kids are still asking for more. I realized it would taste better with a little salt.

One of our favorite cookies! Delicious and very easy to make!

the first time i used this recipe i was amazed. It was great before i got the last cookie on the wax paper the first ones were all ready set. I will only be using this recipe from now on.

This is the recipe that I grew up making. It is still one of my favorites. HOWEVER... once the mixture comes to a boil, you really need to let it boil for three minutes. Less than that and they don't set up. Longer than that and they get very hard. Thanks for posting this recipe. I was excited to see this here.

I love no-bake cookies, but since I'm allergic to peanuts, it's difficult to find a recipe that works. This one is great though. I'd suggest cooking it 2 minutes after it starts boiling though or the cookies tend to be super sticky and don't taste as good. Otherwise, good recipe!

I used splenda instead of the sugar and they turned out great!

I cut the sugar in half, added six tbs. cocoa and used peppermint extract instead of vanilla (I was out of vanilla, sad eh?). turned out great!

Perfect! They set up great. I didn't change a thing and they are just like I remember making in boarding school!

humm, i am a spice lover so i add 1 teaspoon on ground cardamum but would be good with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves ginger...

had the same problem as a few others...did not set up!

I loved this recipe! Although I didn't have any Cocoa powder, I used two tablespoons of peanut butter, and they turned out DELICIOUS!

Great recipe!!! I did everything the same but I doubled the vanilla.

I used crunchy peanut butter and it turned out great! When it came to a rolling boil, I boiled it for 3 mintues. They set up great and tasted wonderful.

Keeper for sure, I did add a bit of peanut butter to the mixture of butter and sugar. Easy as, I put in the fridge as soon as they were done and within 30mins I had a nice chewy fudgy choc hit.

Terrible recipe. Does not set up and gooey. Broke down and emailed my mother for her recipe. Would never use this recipe again

This recipe is so yummy, Thanks Lisa

this is as good as granny made ......mmmmmm good

I made this recipe for a jewelry party I was hosting and I had mixed reviews. I personally thought these were VERY cocoa-laden and I probably will cut the cocoa down to 2-2.5 tablespoons next time. However, one of my friends completely LOVED these cookies and took a whole plate home with her! I ate these cookies when I was a kid, and I can't find a recipe that yields that familiar taste. But these were overall very good (just a bit too chocolate-y for my tastes). ALSO: I used one cookie sheet covered with wax paper and filled up the cookie sheet with cookies to set. I then put another layer of wax paper over the cookies and put more cookies on top (because I didn't have another cookie sheet). This was a BAD idea ~ when the cookies had set, the top layer of cookies were sticking to the wax paper and I had to slide a knife underneath each cookie to get them off the wax paper (otherwise, the cookies were breaking as I tried to pull them away from the paper). Maybe a more experienced baker would know NOT to put two layers of non-hardened cookies on top of each other (even with wax paper between them), but I wasn't aware of this! :)
