Has anyone ever thought to substitute corn syrup for half the sugar? Really good, more like a candy, add raisins, nuts etc

Best cookies I have ever had in my entire life... Thanks for the great recipe on the cookies... My class will love them.

I was just wondering what I am doing wrong. I have made these three times in the last week and 2 out of the 3 times they have not set they are staying gooey and wet the other time they got firm and were so good, so what did I do wrong the other times. Am I using too much or too less of something. Please help me figure this out because my family really wants them again!!! Thank you!!!

Could I use rice krispies and do you think they would still be crunchy tomorrow?

This is a great recipe! Tastes just as I remember. I did make a few minor adjustements though. I used instant chocolate pudding mix instead of cocoa. Cocoa can be expensive and pudding is much cheaper. I also boiled for 2 minutes instead of three. I also spread them on a wax paper on a cookie baking sheet instead of spooning into cookies. After they sat on the cookie sheet in the freezer for 40 minutes I took them out and cut them and they became little "no bake cookie bars" and are excellent. Makes a ton of these little bars and best served frozen or chilled. So yummy!

These are so good! I have made them over the years and I just made them with the special dark cocoa and I think they are definitely better with the peanut butter added. The special dark cocoa makes them EVEN better!

Can agave be used in the no bakes cookies instead of sugar?

I am 69 and have made these cookies for years, I always boil my syrup mixture for 3 minutes, not 1, I believe that is why some of you say that yours doesn't set up. You need to boil the mixture a little bit longer. Also, I make my fudge from this receipe. Make the syrup, boil for 3 minutes, add the peanut butter and pour into buttered pan. Delicious!!!

These cookies are awesome however one prepares them..great in the summer when baking is not cool..Easy enough for kids to make. I always put them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the freezer for a few hours or overnight put them in baggies and give them out at work, people LOVE them... and it is fun to make them smile!

My fiance makes these the same way the recipe says too and they are great, we love 'em!

@Susan.. Oleo is the old school term for margarine, but I would just use butter

Just bake the best nobakes of my life!!! 2 for 2 so far!!!

I am wondering if anyone has found a suitable alternative to sugar? Not an artificial sweetener, something like apple sauce. I've heard of people using apple sauce to replace sugar in recipes but I'm scared to use it in a no bake recipe.

It's been along time since I made no bake oatmeal cookies. Forgot the recipe so copied this one. Can't wait to make them this afternoon.

My mom also made this recipe and we always loved it. It is my go-to cookie recipe when I don't have a lot of time. I always have the ingredients, too. We always use peanut butter, but I am definitely going to try coconut in the future.
