recipe reviews for:

Pudding No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies

“My grandmother had made no-bake cookies so much, she was never seen looking at the recipe. This recipe was obtained from a local nursing home and is so easy my 9 year old makes them and the flavor is changeable to your taste. I generally make 2 batches so that we don't have to store half a can of evaporated milk. Our favorite flavors are made with chocolate fudge or butterscotch pudding.”

THEY WERE REALLY GOOD... EASY TO MAKE WITH KIDS THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS I HAD TO ADD EXTRA OATMEAL TO GET THEM TO SET RIGHT... BUT AFTER I ADDED THE EXTRA OATMEAL THEY WERE SUPER YUMMY

I was looking for a way to use up a box of butterscotch pudding mix and came across this recipe. I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, butter to 1/2 cup, used 1/2 cup skim milk instead of evaporated (didn't have any), added 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 pkg butterscotch chips after everything else was mixed. They were not runny or pasty and set up nicely. I managed to get 24 good sized cookies and even though they are sweet they are good!

Great recipe but only once tweaked it: 2 cups white sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1 small pkg butterscotch instant pudding, 1/2 cup evap. milk, 4 cups large flake oats. Cooked on stovetop.

I add a little dollop (or two) of creamy peanut butter to the finished product to make it even more yummy!

It seems that most people who are successful with this recipe have changed it to some degree. After following the recipe exactly I had an unacceptable result. I am going to try it once more using some of the suggestions in the reviews. Cut the butter and sugar, add more oats or other dry ingredients as needed to get the firm dough required for the cookies to set up. If I get it to work, I'll add a custom version of the recipe. If you followed these ingredients but changed it to low fat, sugar substitute, etc. then it would be nice to share exactly what you did for others to follow. Because that changed everything about the recipe. That change used the IDEA of it but not the details of it. It;s really a new recipe at that point.

Good and easy cookies! I made mine with chocolate instant pudding. I only rated these four stars because I cut back the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, and the butter to 1/2 cup, and cannot imagine 2 cups of sugar in these! I love sweet treats and even with the sugar cut back these are just about as sweet as I could tolerate. Mine set up perfectly.

This recipe is a new staple for us! I love it! I did adjust the portions based on a few reviews and wanted to cut down on fat - I used 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup), 2/3 cup of sugar. They turned out so yummy, and not sure if the reduction in butter made them less gooey but mine sat fine. Not sure where they get 48 servings though, I made 24 rounded tablespoons and they turned out great! Thanks for sharing!

I made these with the chocolate fudge pudding. They're WAY too sweet, and I love sweet treats! I would cut the sugar down or just put in cocoa powder (unsweetened) other's have already recommended. I skimmed the reviews and didn't catch that. If I make them again I will cut down on the sugar and use unsweetened cocoa.
