I Love these cookies! It's a good recipe for those who receive W.I.C. because you get milk, peanut butter, and oatmeal every month!

I add 3 VERY RIPE BANANAS to this recipe...AWESOME!!!!! Also add 1cup chopped walnuts!!! NOM NOM NOM!!!!!!

They are the fastest cookies to make. And the best. I sometimes change up the flavoring to maybe walnut flavor. But my favorite change is just adding crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. We joke and call them poo-poo cookies. Sorry if I grossed anyone out with that.

You do need to bring the liquids to a boil for at least 1 minute. They won't stay together if not. Sort of like when your making homemade candies. The sugar has to "cook down" to be able to stick together.

it is very good.easy to prepare but just it is too sweet may be next time i`ll try to put only 1 cup of sugar may be because i put the peanut butter it become sweet if not may b not too sweet,but my daughter love it...at least it will replace the chocolate.its good as i know how much sugar in it for my child

I just tried it with 1/2 a stick of butter and it turned out great with less calories! Also add wheat germ and flax for a healthier version. I boil for 3 minutes also.

I love this recipe :) I remember making it as a child to in my sunbeams witch is kinda like girl scouts. Now I'm a mother of 2 boy & another yet to come that I make it for. I love spending family & making such wonderful treats & meals :)

Added more oats until it isn't so gooey. I cut sugar in half, added way more oats, maybe 1-2 more cups, didn't measure, throw in some wheat germ or even flax to make them healthier. My kids like them but then again they've always had reduced sugar, eg- half chocolate half white milk, watered down juice, etc. These were great.

I have also substituted the oatmeal with a bag of trail mix or a bag of dried cherries. Both are great!!

My family has always loved these and they are so forgiving. Went to make them one day and discovered as I was beginning to cook the butter, milk and sugar together that I only had two cups of oats.I found some small amounts of several cereals left in the bottoms of the cereal boxes (my 5 kids and husband were fond of leaving littlt dabs for the next guy). I roughly crushed some flake cereals and added some grape nuts and some rice krispies to make up the extra cup of add-ins and it was a real hit. Unfortunately it is impossible to duplicate.

My Uncle as a child put this recipe in a cook book for Mothers Day in 1959. The name of the recipe was called "Wallies". I am not sure why they were called that. I have had them all my life. My Grandmother made for my Aunts, Uncles,siblings,childern and grandchildern. She use coconut too. Mostly with oatmeal.

guys...you don't need that much sugar!! especially if you use Skippy or Jif, they have lots of sugar too.

Love these no-bake cookies, I have been eating these for
years, mine do better by boiling mixture for 2 minutes.
A quick treat when there are a lot of chocolate lovers in the house...

This is actually more like oatmeal fudge than a cookie -- outstanding nonetheless! I'm experimenting with ingredients to make it more nutritious; my fave add-ins so far are raisins (softened by boiling briefly) and chopped almonds. With raisins, milk, cocoa, oatmeal and nuts, these are actually a reasonably good source of iron.

I'm Diabetic...I use Splenda Blend instead and evap.milk instead. Most Exe.
