Followed instructions and they turned out just perfect and yummy. We made without the cocoa too and they were yummy plain too.

I have been making these for the last 40 plus years. We called them preacher cookies, because all the church ladies made them for our Lords Acre sale we did every fall.

Mine never set up right until I started boiling them for 3 1/2 minutes. I start timing when they come to a rolling boil.

I have been Eating these cookies since I was a little girl, We would take them camping with us. This is the first cookie I learned to make. My kids LOVE them, now when one of my boys have a birthday they BEG me to make them. They get one cookie for every year, And since they are all grown they get more than enough. No more Birthday cakes at our house lol

Try spooning mix in a jelly roll pan if you like bar cookies. I used to dislike making cookies because of all the time it took. I make all my cookies in a pans now. Just baked peanut butter cookies in a jelly roll pan, complete with the fork marks!

i add pecans to mine! one of my favorite cookies ever!

for those of you having problems getting them to set up properly, try cooking the cocoa mixture longer. I noticed many mention 1 minute, I would try 3.

I didn't put milk in. Instead I put in Almond Milk. YUMM!!!

These cookies turned out great; instead of cocoa, I used half a bag of regular chocolate chips. My husband is pigging out on them as we speak - LOL! Guess I'll have to make more tomorrow. :-)

I substitute 2 cups of hot chocolate powder in place of the 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. When you add peanut butter in this way you can taste both the peanut butter and the chocolate a lot better.

i thought twice about this basic recipe because it said to boil for one minute. I tried it anyway and was remiss. Boiling one minute you end up with a fudge like cookie. Most other recipes say to boil at least 4-5 minutes and you end up with a cookie that a little more dry-like as a cookie should be. So yes its tasty but needs to cook longer if you want to be able to eat cookie with your hands and not a plate and fork. Note I usually use the special dark cocoa powder for a little extra kick

When the recipe calls for 1 minutes to boil, that means a full rolling boil for 1 minute.

This recipe is the best no-bake cookie that I have ever made. I love to cook and have done so for many years. My husband does not like peanut butter in ANYTHING but you can not tell that it is in this recipe. Only adds to the flavor. I add his favorite....raisins and it makes them wonderful!

I have been making these since I was about 11 years old -- they're the best! I make them now with a diabetic in the family -- we use a sugar substitute called Whey Low and Heart Balance Butter. I lower the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, but everything else is the same; don't forget the vanilla! We like our no-bake Camp Cookies chewy and shiny and we often don't wait for the cookies to cool much -- the lightened version here comes out better than the one I've used for years!

I am feeling really lucky right now.. I happened onto this site by accident.. And this recipe I have been looking for, forever!!!. I had the recipe once and some how lost it through the years.. TY, TY, Ty, thank you everyone! I am going to try a lot of the variations. :) P.S. this site is bookmarked. yaaa!
