My mom always added crunchy peanut butter, I love the little bits of peanuts in them.

My brother took some to school once, when the other kids asked him what they were he told them doo doo cookies. Nobody ate them and he got to eat them all on the way home that day. So now in our house, they are doo doo cookies...LOL

I'm 52 and my mom made these in the summer so she didn't have to use the oven. She was always changing them up. I like the oatmeal, but she would sometimes subsitute chow mein noodles. Sooooo good!

Replaced the peanut butter with Nutella hazelnut spread; nice change.

I added crushed walnuts--fantastic.

On the remove from heat part it should really say add ingredients Quickly because if you don't the boiled mixture will dry ant you wont have good chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies

Thank you for making it so easy to get this recipe. Other sites kept sending me all over. Yours was the best.

I have not had these in over 30 years. We used to call them Moose Drops! Awesome cookies.

Doodoo cookies!!!! YUM!!

i have made these several times and if you use 1/4 cup of milk instead of 1/2 cup in it, it works so much better

I too m familiar with goodies, I split the rec.just enough for one... I use splenda Blend a little less than half cup and use carnation milk a little less than fourth a cup....

These were very easy and delicious! You might have to make a double batch though - they disappear quickly!

These are my husband's absolute favorite cookie, he started making them when he was a teenager (we are 56) and we have been making them ever since. The recipe we have calls for you to boil the mixture for three minutes, turns out every time. I used to make them for all our daughter's bake sales, they are always a big seller. I bought a similar item at Kroger a few weeks ago, thinking I would give my husband a treat, and myself a break, but they are not nearly as good as the homemade. Think I will make some tomorrow. Thanks!

Amanda alot of people know this recipe. Recipe's are good to be shared. so everyone can add something of their own :) I love these cookies. Made them for a bake sale and they sold out.

My family has been making these cookies for decades. We call it oatmeal candy. An easier way of distributing the batter is to spread it in a 9x13 pan and freeze, then just cut into squares. Thats how we always do it. Also, these taste delicious when eaten frozen!
