These are great cookies. I have made them for years. I cook mine about 5 min. and I add an extra cup of oats, no peanut butter. I ate these for my breakfast for 3 months and my cholesteral dropped 30 points.

I absolutely love making these cookies!

These cookies have been around for a long time. I went over to my Grandmothers house and we made these. That was our time spent together. We would make them and I could barely wait to eat them....but I had to let them cool. It has been awhile since I made them...maybe I should make a batch.

These are amazing with coconut. I use half oatmeal and half coconut. Delicious.

I usually bring it to a full rolling boil and boil 2 minutes before doing the rest of the recipe. Sometimes I use 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar for a different taste. I also put in raisins. I made a big paper grocery bag of these for friends at a local TV station one year.

My recipe only uses l l/4 c sugar. & I use regular oats--works great. Drop by tbsp onto wax paper. Let cool--refrig. Can use a little more peanut butter--chunky is great. Wonder if you could use a little coconut?

This recipe is also called "Preacher Cookies" where I come from. You can also add raisins for another option. Also, the cocoa can be omitted and the color will be just a blond peanut butter.These are great any ole way you want to make them!

I make these all the time also - but I call it fudge - and so do my grandchildren. I put lots of peanut butter and also pecans. It is delicious.

We have been making these for almost 50 years. Kids and adults just love them. We also made them w/o the peanut butter and added coconut instead. Great memories!

My elementary school use to serve these when I was a kid. We looked forward to those days when they would have these cookies. I loved them and have been looking for this simple recipe for ever. I am going to try them and see if they are the same. I hope they are. Great treat for Thanksgiving & Christmas time for the kids and adults. Thanks!

I am going to add craisins and skip the peanut butter for a holiday treat.

Made these when I was a Brownie for Valentine's Day many moons ago. We used coconut and chopped nuts. My daughters still make these. Over fifty years since I first made these...amazing.

These cookies are sooooo good. They taste like fudge with oatmeal added. We used to call then Top of the Stove Cookies. We made them with and without peanut butter. They are great both ways. I never made them with coconut but it sounds yummy so think I might.

yummy for my tummy man...a family favorite

I have been looking for a recipe for these cookies for a year and a half now. I tried them the very first time a year and a half ago (I am 39) and fell in love with them but could not find out the name or find a recipe for them. Thank you for posting this. I am going to make them tomorrow for my nephew's pot luck party and make an extra batch to keep here at home. Thanks so much!
