In my opinion, the cookies are a real treat. The secret to making the perfect batch is boiling them for the 1 minute required time (and 20 seconds longer for me. This cooks the gritty out of the sugar and allows the cookie to firm when done. The QUICK oats are really the only type that work in any no bake cookie recipe. I always add 3 2/3 cups of quick oats after the vanilla and 1 C creamy peanut butter. The type of chocolate powder you use, I feel, makes a big difference. I use "Ghirardelli", and it is almost as good as the imported stuff . I use a cookie scoop to drop them unto wax paper. They hold their round shape and there is no gritty sugar taste, the oatmeal is the right amount and the peanut butter balances it all out. I have been making them since they were posted here, and many neighbors, friends and family now use this recipe and I assure you it is a huge hit! Thank you Helen!!

Recipe did not state "quick" oats. I used reg oatmeal and the raw oatmeal is nasty. Also too gritty and too sugary. I would suggest looking at the reviews for a better recipe.

I've made a recipe similar to this since college - love it! Over the years, I've refined it to be a tiny-bit healthier so I don't feel so guilty eating the entire batch. It's very forgiving so ... try adding ground flax or wheatgerm, diced walnuts/peanuts, chopped dried fruit (CHERRY is awesome with chocolate and/or coconut. An addicting treat!
