I used to make these all the time when I was younger with both my mom and grandma, they were always a family favorite. Though, my father is now diabetic and can't tolerate all the sugar in this recipe. Could I make it with a granulated no-calorie sweetener like Truvia or Nectresse? Thanks!

I learned how to make these cookies years ago in Home Economics class in 7th grade. They were called Raggedy Robins! I have been making them ever since and they never fail to deliver good results and you can make them year round. Quick, easy and something that you can give little ones a spoon so that they can help you put them on the wax paper. We have never rolled them into balls -- just simply used a spoon or small scoop since the mixture tends to be very warm!

The only reason I gave this a 4 and not a 5 star rating is because I think there is way too much sugar. I only used 1 cup of sugar and that was plenty. I also added some walnuts and when the mixture was cooled down to just warm I added some chocolate chips. I also used quick oats. Very good.

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!

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!!
