Here's a few pointers. Have your vanilla measured and ready (a shot glass is good). Have peanut butter measured and ready, oats in a separate bowl. Put butter and milk in pan, turn on heat. Add cocoa then sugar. Stir more than occasionaly until it reaches a ROLLING BOIL. (It will continue to boil as you CONSTANTLY STIR.) Start timing at the rolling boil (stir constantly). After time, turn off heat and immediately add pre-measured vanilla. (Still stirring) Add peanut butter and salt and stir some more. Add oats and stir until mixed and all peanut butter is melted. Spoon out. The trick really is the rolling boil and constantly stirring so the sugar doesn't burn. I have someone help me and add the vanilla and peanut butter while I constantly stir.

My entire family loves these cookies. My family begs for them! I would suggest using 4 TBsp of cocoa, butter rather than margarine, smooth PB and 3 1/2 cups of oats. Small changes but they make a world of difference. I have tried every which way and this is the best. If you do it just right, they set up in about 15 minutes.

These turned out absolutely perfect! Don't be afraid to use whole oats if you don't have quick oats....doesn't make a difference. I made it EXACTLY as stated. I have made no bakes in the past and had them either set up to fast, or never set up. I would say the directions to this recipe are perfectly on target!

I give this five stars because they came out exactly as they were meant to. Following the advice of other posters I doubled the cocoa (used good quality cocoa), used creamy PB, and even reduced the butter a bit. Boiled for about 90 seconds. They set up perfectly and were ready to eat in LESS than an hour. I love making these when I need a quicky fudgey chocolate fix. Oh forgot... I used 2 1/2 cups of oats and 1 cup of coconut. I think it would be good with just the 3 cups of oats too.

These are just like I remember as a kid. Sometimes I just throw them into a 9x13 pan instead of drop by teaspoon. Very tasty.

The perfect no-bake flavor. I used creamy peanut butter instead of chunky, and if you do that I suggest adding a bit more oats, as they'll be kind of thin.

I love this recipe because it has more cocoa than other ones. It has 1/4 c instead of 2 tablespoons. This made a huge difference in the turn out. They turned out more rich and not so dried out as those recipes that call for only 2 tablespoons. My family loves these cookies, and everytime I make them I come right back to this exact recipe to make sure I make them the same way.

These were a hit and easy to make! I used splenda, skim milk, light peanut butter, and light margarine, and they still tasted great.

This is the best No Bake Cookie Recipe I've found. Have made it with both chunky and creamy peanut butter and we like it both ways. I set my kitchen timer to one minute after the mix has started boiling and have never had a problem with them setting up.

My husband loves these cookies. They are a must at Christmas at our house. The only difference I make was to increase the vanilla to 2 tsp. Very good!
