I use basically the same recipe, but with 2 cups of oats instead of 3. I don't think there would be enough liquid to coat 3 cups of oats properly.

These cookies turned out great. I think next time I would use a little less sugar unless you like a really sweet cookie :)

The secret is to boil the mixture for 4-6 min... the longer you boil the more the sugar carmelizes and the quicker the cookies will set up once you remove them from the heat. If they look a little watery (like my first batch did) then just let the mixture set for a few min before spooning them out on the wax paper. These are so delicious!!! I've made them several times. With and without peanut butter... you can add almost anything to these cookies. I've even made coffee almond ones! I also use dark chocolate cocoa and it makes them even more decadent. I will continue to make these for a loooong time!

We have company coming for dinner, and it's too hot to turn on the oven, so I made these today with my 6 year old daughter. I did the cooking part, she scooped them on the parchment. I love the subtle peanut butter taste. It's very easy, and the ingredients are staples, so it will be a great last minute "I need dessert, quick!" recipe.

These are great! I used old fashioned oats instead of quick oats. I like the little bit of crunch it gives them.

My mother received this recipe from my elementary school cafeteria lady and I'm now 47! She made them once a month for the students. The recipe is fantabulous as it is but we often change it up by using chunky peanut butter and occasionally adding raisins!

This is one of our all-time family faves - my dad has been making them since I was a toddler. What makes them REALLY good? Put them in the freezer instead of on the counter, then they not only get nice and firm and easy to eat but taste AMAZING! Make it like the recipe says, don't change half the ingredients and still expect them to be good. Don't forget to use parchment paper though! :)

These are a family favorite and one of the first cookies I taught my daughters to make. To the person who said the boiling time is not enough, I've been making these for over 40 years and have discovered that if the humidity is high/its raining, etc., yes you will have to boil the mixture longer. If you make these often, you will begin to be able to tell just by how the mixture looks. I've made these using chunky peanut butter and they are good too.

Our men and women overseas love this recipe, have been sending it to them since 2000. Don't worry about how they fare in shipment. They will eat them, but you can wrap individually and they hold there shape.

I LOVE the taste of these! 4 stars because mine came out a little mushy. They should be more formed. I would also like a recipe with less sugar.

Turned out great! Just like classic no-bake cookies should be. I made mine extra rich because I was out of milk and had some cream left over from another recipe. Wonderful!

I cut the recipe in half which still made plenty of half dollar size cookies for my family of three. I brought to a boil and then timed for 1 minute, should have been a full 2 maybe 2 1/2 minutes as they are very sticky. They have to remain in the fridge. The taste of these is spot on though, just like my mom used to make for me!

I took note of the following recommendations: I used coconut milk, increased the PB, decreased the white sugar and rapidly boiled for just under two minutes. My cookies sat in the fridge overnight and are greasy and mushy. The flavor is nice, but who wants mushy cookies? I'll stick with cranking my oven - even in 90* weather.

I shouldn't call these cookies, more like a chocolate candy. Very rich. My husband didn't like them, (too sweet)When the mixture boiled, I didn't stirr any more, boiled for 3 minutes. After putting in the oats, pn butter and vanilla, I stirred very well and fast. The cookies set up very fast and they are beautifully shining. Next time I will try adding some peppermint extract instead of vanilla.

These turned out good. I followed KIRVIN's advice for cooking them in the microwave and it worked fine. The only other thing I did differently was that I poured the whole thing in a 9x13 pan and cut them into squares when cooled. Fast and easy and I didn't have to heat up my house :)

I give this recipe 4 stars b/c the cookies were very tasty, but the consistency was far too soft. We had to eat them with a spoon. I followed the recipe except I used only 1 1/2c sugar as recommended by many reviewers. I followed the detailed instruction given by a "most helpful" reviewer to allow the mixture to come to a rapid boil and then time it for one minute, but this was not long enough. I will try boiling for 2 minutes next time.

I have a version of this that only calls for 1 1/2 C sugar & it tastes just as good.You do have to boil for at least 2 minutes to get the right consistency.
