To those of you who are having problems with hardening It is very possible you are using todays margarine. It has too much water in it. Use butter.

Use the "cold water" test for doneness. When a drop of the boiling mixture "sets" or "firms" in cold water, then you need to remove it from the burner asap. If cookies are dry (over-boiled), stir in tiny amounts of milk. If too wet, add oats.

I have been making this recipe since I was a child. I now call these cookies the "PMS cure". Not a cure, but the cocoa definitely helps!

I tried the recipe with dark cocoa and the consistency was not the same.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I made 100's of fudgies when I was a kid. My younger sister would put them in a square pan and put it in the freezer. They would set up faster that way. Lost the recipe so glad to find it again. I guess I will have to make it and take some to my sister!

These are my favorite cookies of all time. My grandpa tried to show me how to make them when I was younger and I'm almost 21 now and I finally figured out how to make them. I'm actually going to make some today, I want chocolate. And a really yummy and good idea: try putting a few no bake cookies in vanilla ice cream, its really good.

 Angel (Missouri) says:
I wanted to make these but had only 1 cup of quick oats and a full carton old fashion rolled oats. I compared the looks of the two different kinds and noted that the quick oats were crunched up and the old fashioned were whole pieces. WONDERFUL. YOU CAN USE OLD FASHIONED OATS if you chop them up first. Don't know if it matters but I use Quaker oats. I know some things do.

This is so good. But i added marshmallows and it made it awesome. if you like this, try it with marshmallows. i gives it a chewy yummy taste.

 Cheryl (United States) says:
Use only 2 cups oatmeal for a fudgy no bake cookie, my grandmothers recipe only calls for the 2 cups. That is the best!

Has anyone mailed these overseas? I'm wondering how they'd hold up going to A'stan, where it might take a few weeks to be delivered...

 Eileen (Hawaii) says:
My mother used to make a variation but I could never find her recipe. I believe it involved powdered sugar, oats, cocoa and butter (margarine). Has anyone made these? They weren't boiled, but mixed and rolled in balls through extra powdered sugar and then frozen.
