I made this so many times growing up that I no longer need to look at the recipe, because I have it memorized! Who can wait for them to cool!!! Our favorite time to eat them is while they are warm. We add the butter with the peanut butter and vanilla and only cook to a soft ball. Also, I like to mix the cocoa and sugar together before adding the milk... fewer lumps to break up.

Everyone I know loves these cookies! The only change I make is I use one square of Baker's Chocolate in place of coccoa. These are especially great in the summer because they don't create any extra heat, but watch out or you might add to your waistline...I can never have just one!

I used 1/2 carob b/c my ds goes ballistic eating chocolate. The choc taste was great. But I also used natural peanut butter, which diminished the sweetness and saltiness just a tad. But I just had these elsewhere and they were too sweet, so this batch was great for me.

try adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and reducing the oats by 1/2 cup, for a more adult treat, try a splash of khalua.

These are just a bit too sweet for my family. We prefer lightly sweetened but creamy, full of fat desserts. Just a tip: if you only have Old Fashioned Oats, just wiz it in a blender or food processor for a bit to chop up the oats. I was told by a grain mill manager this is the only difference between the two (quick oats are just chopped up so they absord the moisture quicker).

Wow — these are so easy and so good! I used 1/2 cup coconut and 2 cups of oats, increased the cocoa to 1/3 cup, and used 1 cup of brown sugar in place of the 2 cups of white sugar. I spread the "dough" onto a foil-lined baking pan rather than dropping it by tablespoons. I also used Crisco in place of the butter, but I wouldn't recommend it because the cookies never "set" — they were still gooey after a while in the refrigerator. PS. These are great with crushed banana chips or crushed pretzels mixed in with the oats!

These were the easiest and best no bake cookies. They far outdo the chocolate no-bakes everyone knows. Make these and you will have a new favorite. They go really fast so make a double batch!!!!!!

I make these quite often. The amount of each ingredient in this recipe is better than many other versions. The only thing that I change is that I add a pinch of salt.
