Best ones yet, I added dried cherries and walnuts and omitted the peanut butter !!

My sister made these peanut butter oatmeal cookies for me over 100 times. She's the best. She took home economics in 1964 and someone shared the description. I share it with my church. Made growing up special.

I have made these cookies since I was a little girl and my younger brother would help me. He liked them kind of dry with more peanut butter and he liked chunky peanut butter. I have always boiled them for exactly 2 minutes. When my son was in the Navy and stationed in Japan I sent these cookies to him in a Pringles potato chip tube for safe travels. Each one was wrapped in Saran. He said his friends loved them so much he sold them and made some money. Ha. They are a family favorite and part of our family history. I guess I will go make some right now!

I found this recipe after a craving for no-bakes. I made two batches, one with peanut butter and one without. Both batches were great, I recommend with the peanut butter, tasted as it did when I was a child.

The secret to the texture is in the temperature at which you boil the mix. I usually go for 114 Celsius because it is the temperature at which sugar cristalizes. You may obtain similar results through which oatmeal *and* the amount of oatmeal you use because you then create less or more surface for the chocolate mix to spread and get powdery on.

Really good! It's same recipe my mom used to make me growing up! I leave the peanut butter out, I think its better that way, but I've never really liked peanut butter.

Susan Borgersrode, Oleo is a margarine. :-) or butter

OMG I love this recipe. This was served in grade school by the lunch lady. Perhaps we should give this recipe to Adam Sandler.

I just made it with Splenda (diet controlled pre-diabetic). It was pretty good. I find Truvia and Stevia has a bitter taste.

Thank you for this recipe. Could not find the recipe and in a hurry. I wanted to share this one with my grandsons. This was my favorite! Especially when I got to lick the spoon. Yum. Thanks so very much!

Was great for holiday cooking

When I was 12, (22 years ago!) I spent a lovely summer with my family in Nebraska and my Cousin Joan shared this yummy recipe with me. I made them so many times the card is about to fall apart. These are awesome and made a wonderful memory! :) Just make sure you cook them long enough so they firm up! I'd go for 3 minutes.

I grew up eating these! We called then booboo cookies. Lol! Super yummy and simple. I add about a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans I had left over from Thanksgiving. It turned out to be a great addition!

Thank you so much.I have always loved these cookies. They a true favorite of mine. God bless you for posting it here.

I've tried this recipe many times but can't get cookies hard. I'm from Florida so thought maybe it was the humidity here. Grew up in PA and loved these as a kid but don't seem to work in FL unless it's cold out.
