I'm from ohio and have always called these chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies. Now, I live in North Carolina. They make these the same, but in a square/rectangle pan and then cut them in squares and call them Peanut Butter Delight. Funny how the same thing is prepared the same and called different things in different places.

 Sarah (Connecticut) says:
This is my go to recipe when making cookies. I know it by heart, it's quick and easy and simple. My only advice would be to be aware of the humidity when you make them. If it's more than 60%, they will likely never harden. Even if you try to freeze them, they will still be gooey. Not that they don't taste great, still, but it's quite messy when they're not hardened.

 Cat (New York) says:
A quick question, Do you think to make this recipe a bit more on the healthy side replacing sugar with honey, and butter with I can't believe it's not butter or another alternative would stil give off the same great taste (of course a tad different but still good ? )

 Joann Campbell (Maryland) says:
I have made this recipe many times. I got the recipe in cooking class in high school and I am 79. I wanted to share a blonde version of the cookie: use 2 cups brown sugar in place of white and omit cocoa and let cook 5 minutes.

Also try the packets of instant flavored oatmeal such as brown sugar and maple... yummy!!!! Don't add any coco or peanut butter.These are even better than the chocolate version.

 Donna (Tennessee) says:
I have made a ton of these! Yes, I cook mine longer also, but a great variation I now use is half quick cooking oats and half old fashioned oats. The textural difference is great!

 Jackie Booe (Virginia) says:
The cookies turned out excellently. However, my family thought they were too chocolatey. I've made this type many times but my old recipe called for only three fourths cup of cocoa. I'll go back to that next time.
