One big problem with this recipe: one minute is nowhere near long enough to cook this, unless you like to eat your no-bake cookies with a spoon. This recipe should be cooked to soft ball stage, about 240 degrees F. It will take about 8 minutes, not 1 minute, to get there. Otherwise the cookies will not set.

This recipe was good but i have had better and it was to sweet so you should use 1 cup of sugar or around there.

This recipe is a favorite in my family for years. My mother's recipe is slightly different. In the saucepan goes the sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. I also add a 1/2 cup of corn syrup to the pot (add syrup when everything is melted). Slowly heat until you don't feel the grit of the sugar, once the sugar is fully liquified, turn up the heat a little more and bring just to a slight boil on the edges of the saucepan. Take off immediately and pour into oat mixture (I use 4 cups oatmeal, 1 cup shredded coconut, 4 heaping tbsp cocoa powder, already mixed in a large bowl). Drop by spoonful and let sit at least one hour. They should turn out perfect.

I made these as written on a rainy day. The flavor is great but they did not set up.

This recipe turns out dry and crumbles. The cookies dont stick together and just becomes a crumble not a cookie.

Followed the recipe with a bit of changes ;) for one, followed another reviewers adjustment of boiling (on med-high heat) the Sugar, butter, milk and cocoa powder, but I went ahead and added the 1tsp of flavor (which i used 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of butter extract). I boiled for 5 mins stirring very often. In another bowl I put in the 3 cups of quick oats, with just two handfuls of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans then tossed well using my hands. I added the hot mixture to the dry and mixed well with a spoon. I had cookie sheets with parchment paper that I just lightly sprayed with Canola Oil. Dropped the mixture by the spoonfuls and let set for just a min or two, buy then it was cool enough for me to form the mixture into perfect little circle/disks. I let cool to room temp for apprx. 10 mins (ate one, just as a test ;) while it was still a little warm. It had a very little crumble to it and it was soft and chewy but formed perfectly) Oh! then stuck them in the refrigerator till dinner time. They are absolutely delicious and oh so sweet (enough to satisfy my sweet tooth!). Hope this helps. Happy Baking!
