Delicious! I cut the sugar down to 1 3/4 cup and will probably cut it down to 1 1/2 cup next time. I started the one minute timing once it came to a rolling boil. I also used old fashioned oats not the quick oats and it turned out great.

Taste just like "moms". I was looking for a recipe to use up some evaporated milk and came across these. Quick late night snack. TFS

Good simple recipe. After mixing well the oatmeal and peanut butter in the chocolate mixture, let sit for about 5 minutes before dropping on the wax paper. The cookies held their shape much better.

This is a wonderful, quick recipe that has stood the test of time. In order to insure that the cookies set up correctly you must make sure that the syrup is at a full boil before you begin counting time. I usually just add an extra 30 seconds. I also add a little more oats but it is not necessary. Thanks for posting this. I lost the copy of this recipe that my aunt gave me many years ago.

These are yummy and so easy! Per another reviewer's suggestion, I reduced the sugar by half a cup and think I'll use just 1 cup next time. I also added flaxseed meal and wheat germ.

Wonderful! I added a couple more tablespoons of PB (b/c I love PB so much!) These took zero time to set up. I cooked for 2 minutes instead of one though. The only problem is they don't last very long with hubby and the kids!

this is a great basic recipe (i doubled it, and turned out fine) saw another name for these; "cowpies" - I thought that was cute. wouldn't change a thing! trick is, when it starts to boil hard, THEN time one minute - otherwise if you don't do it long enough, it's gooey runny and if you boil too long, it's hard and crumbly... good luck and thanks for the recipe!
