Does anyone know if melted dark chocolate can be used instead of the cocoa?

Very simple and great recipe. Kids can make it very easily and are very yummy.

Flowerchild, these have been our family's favorite cookies for a very long time. You can add melted dark choc. instead of the cocoa. I used 1 1/2 cups sugar because my choc. was sweetened and only 1 oz. of butter because of all the fat in the chocolate. Just delicious!!

These recipe was too chocolatey... Tasted more like a dark chocolate cookie. Will reduce the cocoa to 1/4 cup or less next time. But...still yummy with a cold glass of milk!

You can use 6 tbsp of cocoa instead and a little less on the milk and they will turn out perfect!

Too much cocoa use around 4 to 6 tablespoons or you will come out with some really dark chocolate cookies. I made mine with 5 tablespoons and it turn out just right but I also used one cup of extra crunch peanut butter I love using crunchy instead.

This is too easy & how can you go wrong w/ peanut butter & chocolate? After burning a batch of cookies for the cookie exchange the next day, this was what I made @ 10:00pm. It was a hit & when you think about it, a healthy treat w/ the oatmeal & peanut butter.

This is also a delicious GLUTEN-FREE sweet treat! And a big hit with Celiacs!!!

Can I replace the butter with coconut oil used for cooking?

oh and once it boils for a minute pull it off heat before adding pb and oatmeal

love them

Can I use old fashion oats instead of quick cooking?

Just finnished these and they look (and taste) awesome!
