Chocolate Drops (Coconut & Oatmeal No Bake)

I only used 2 1/2 cups of oats because I ran out...I added a little extra coconut as a substitute. These taste great, but I wasn't crazy about the consistency. Mine were kind of dry and crumbly and the "dough" was hard to work with...kept crumbling apart on me. I'm not sure I'd make this recipe again, but a couple friends at work appreciated them!

This is a delicious macaroon-type cookie that I remember making as a kid. But looking at how much butter and sugar reminds me why I haven't had them in a long time. I cut the sugar down to 1 cup and cut the butter to about a 1/3 cup. Everything else stayed the same (maybe a tad more oats and coconut). I did use sweetened coconut b/c I had it on hand, but this might have compensated for decreasing the sugar amount. Anyway, my husband (who groaned when he found out there was coconut in it) loved them and asked when I would be making more. Thanks!

I made these as directed, except for the boiling for 3 minutes, because we used to make these as children and we brought the fluids to a boil, then added the rest. It came out very nicely. I agree with one of the other reviewers, I thought it was a little too sweet. I think next time I will reduce the amount of sugar. My children have been asking for more. Thank you for submitting this recipe, it reminds me of childhood.

Very good and easy! A little too sugary for myself, I will definately cut the sugar down a bit on the next batch, but it sure didn't bother my niece! Thanks!
