Great Recipe! Almost like grandma's
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My grandma taught all the girls how to make these easy cookies! This recipe is very close to hers! For those with oatmeal... cooking issues, use instant 1 minute oats. Yes if you use regular oats they will have to cook longer about 3 mins. Read more

This most definitely has to be boiled for 3 minutes. Personally I feel that it calls for too much oatmeal which makes these... cookies dry. My mom used to make these when I was a kid. She hasn't been able to find her recipe so I thought this one seemed most similar. Her's were SO much better, so if I ever am able to find the recipe I'll post on here!Read more

Easiest cookies to make
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

So simple, so tasty, and will bring back childhood memories! My son is allergic to peanuts, so I substituted soy butter. ... Still taste great. Only word of caution: tempting as it is to make the cookies bigger, they are more likely to crumble that way. The ones that are smaller stay together much better. Read more

Reciepe is no where close! They need to fix the horrible mistake!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Awful! You ever posted this recipe should be ashamed! Why hasn't food network fixed this error yet??? It says boil for one... minute... that is incorrect! I have wasted ingredients and time! My kids cant even eat the cookies they worked so hard to make. These cookies need to boil 3-4 minutes not 1. PLus there are a ton of comments on here saying the same thing, yet the readers are giving it 5 stars so it isn't showing up wrong. If you made this recipe and they didnt set up and are gooey give this 1 star so food network will fix this! Read more

Great Cookies!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I haven't made these cookies in 10 years because every time I made them previously, they would never set up - just end up a... gooey mess. But this time I READ the comments first and used other experienced cooks' ideas. The difference this time - I boiled for 2.5 minutes instead of 1 minute. They were perfect. Yeah!Read more
