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!

I think these cookies are actually really good. The only problem is the sugar ammount. The first time i made this recipe it tasted way to sweet and nobody ate them so i ended up tossing them. Its better if you half the sugar ammount to 1 cup and if thats even to sweet still cut it down to half a cup! Great recipe!

Excellent! I made these more healthy by using half the sugar, half the butter, substituted almond butter instead of peanut butter, substituted almond milk for the milk. Instead of 3 cups of oatmeal I used 1 c oatmeal, 1 c rice krispy type cereal, and 1 cup of pecans. Wow! Outstanding!!

This recipe was great! I did follow the modifications the first review suggested using 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 cups of instant oats. I used skim milk and a 1/2 cup of "I Cannot Believe it's not Butter Light" instead of the stick of butter and These cookies came out perfect! Thank you :

I have been making these since I was 9 yrs old.I am in my 40's now. my recipe is different, this one has too much oatmeal and vanilla and cocoa is wrong. I prefer mine. 1/3 CUP cocoa 1 tea spoon vanilla and only 2 cups 1 minute oats. I also like just a bit extra peanut butter

I followed the recipe for my first batch and it was way too chocolate for me. So my new batch I cut the cocoa in half and it was perfect taste!

Easy to do. Needs another Tbsp of cocoa powder and I'd recommend using quick-cooking oats; we used traditional oatmeal and the oats are a bit more firm that I would expect. They're about half set so trying them in the refrigerator.

Well, let me say...Awesome. I followed the directions but I also used some basic knowledge too. First it really doesn't matter what order you add the first ingredients. The key is the boiling. No-bake-cookies are essentially candy. And if you have ever made toffee or something similar you know that how long you boil the sugar makes a huge difference. Even if you haven't made any kind of hard candy there is much I can tell you. First - you don't start timing your sugar boil until the whole pot is boiling. Second, the longer you boil the sugar the firmer your cookies will be. Boil at least a minute, if you boil just over a minute they will be shiny. If you boil longer you will be sure they will set better. But be careful not to boil too long, any more than 4 min. and they could be crumbly.

Second, add some aromatic spices. Mint, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, All Spice are all some good additions as well as combinations of them and others. I like Cinnamon and All Spice.
