My sister and I used to make this with our grandmother when we were younger. They are so simple yet so tasty! You can take them anywhere and count on them disappearing quickly!

This recipe had delicious flavor! I found them to be slightly runny depite adding more oats to the recipe. A few small tweaks - I added a teaspoon of espresso powder and a quick shake of ground cinnamon. I was happy to eat this recipe out of the bowl! If you are able to wait unlike me then make sure you give them the full 30 minutes to set up before enjoying. Read More

Something is wrong with this recipe! Totally runny, liquid batter. Did not set up. A waste of time and ingredients. I even added another cup of old fashioned oats. Read More

If you use regular rather than quick-cooking oats you will not get the proper consistency for the cookies to be dry and not runny. Read More

Worked great with old fashioned oats, I just let the mixture sit in the pot for about 10-15 minutes before I scooped them onto the foil. Read More

I agree with Guru -- all of these require QUICK oats... the regular ones have to be cooked too long to absorb properly - with QUICK oats success every time Read More

Loved these! Used the quick cooking oats and let the mixture stay at a ROLLING boil for a full min and they set up just great! Wonderful flavor! UPDATE Made this yesterday (above) using Justin's peanut butter and they came out beautifully. Tonight I made them using regular Jiff extra crunchy peanut butter because my husband likes some crunch in the cookie and they came out verrrry runny so I added probably a 1/4c of quick oats to the done mixture and that thickened it up nicely. I think the kind of peanut butter you use makes a huge difference! Read More

Exactly what I was craving and not too sweet. Didn't set completely solid but that's ok it's only been 1 hr since I finished them perhaps they'll set a little bit more. Read More

I only used this recipe as a base and altered many things mainly for personal preference. First I melted unsalted butter and Jiff brand Salted Caramel Hazelnut butter (this is not as thick as peanut butter) in the microwave. I omitted the sugar and cocoa powder. I then mixed in the vanilla and oats. They did take a little longer to set but I found them to be delicious and did not want to share but I did:) I found them to be plenty sweet enough. Read More
