My mom and grandmother made these for my sister, my 2 cousins and I growing up. I loved them then and still love them now! I made these a few years ago for my son's 10th birthday party... They were a instant hit! So this year for my birthday I told my husband and my son I didn't want a cake but instead for them to make me these cookies. They did and again the cookies were a hit just this time I ate them all!

I was wondering if I could use heavy cream to this instead of milk????

Can anyone tell me if you can use regular oatmeal, or does if HAVE to be the quick oats?

Delicious! So simple & great sweet tooth fix. My family really enjoyed this!

I prepared my recipe with vegan ingredients and somehow it came out with a coconut flavor to it. Its a nice recipe! Very simple! Love it!

I just got done with it of course i twisted this recipe up a bit and added all the ingrediants together and baked it. But I love these cookies and I hope this makes me a great baker thank you :)

My grandmother passed this recipe down to me. It has been my favorite ever!! She also added 1 cup of pecans at the end with the oats.

I have to say I haven’t had this cookie since I was a kid and we wont say how long ago that was. Lol but they turned out delicious. Got up in morning and kids had ate them up. :) Thanks

Just made these. I, think 3 cups of oats make the cookies too dry. Next time I think I will add 2 cups of oats and a little more peanut butter. Other than that they tasted good.

Great recipe! My mother loves them but she can not wait the 30 minutes to cool. Loves them still a lil warm lol!

I make these for all the parties we have at work. One time I didn't have the time to make them, so I bought store made "no-bakes". My co-workers knew the difference...they told me that my cookies are made with love! I'll never buy store made "no-bakes" again!! :)

Funny. I always thought this was my Mom's recipe. Never knew until I was an adult that other "Mom's" made this cookie. It is a family favorite.

I like to make in bars as opposed to plops. Also I typically add a dollop of milk after oatmeal peanut butter has been incorporated. Makes them not so dry.

I enjoyed reading everyone's comments and hints -- not sure which to try first! The cow pattie cookies were in the first cook book my Mom ever gave me -- about 50 yrs ago! It was just a small cook book with kid friendly recipes -- but it sure started me on the path to baking and cookbooks! Thank you for all of the good memories :)

I make these cookies and put flax seed in them!
