Larry Gibson (California) says:

A good addition is 1/2 cup of Grape Nuts. Adds a nice crunch.

Try adding M&M's to this recipe also. It's a nice little surprise.

The Grapenuts cereal sounds good, I will try that....

Kimmie (Michigan) replies:

Hi. I'll stick to my ingredients... handed down by my mother. After bringing to a rolling boil for 1 min. Add 1/4 cup raisins and /4 cup finely chopped walnuts. While adding peanut butter and vanilla.

JoAnn Thorpe McFarland (Washington) says:

I grew up with this recipe and mom ALWAYS added coconut. It's goes good with recipe.

This is so good! I just made it with coconut. It's very easy, and takes little time.

·Mar 13 ·

Kay U S (New Jersey) replies:

How much coconut do you add to this recipe? Thanks

·Mar 14 ·

Lorraine (United States) replies:

Thanks for a great recipe. How much coconut should I add or any other thing that you add.

·Apr 27 ·

Wendi (United States) replies:

How much coconut do you add? and do you then reduce any of the other ingredients?

Hi All, I see the question asked how much coconut to use-no one responded just keep telling us how good it is added. Will someone please answer?

Hi Cece,

There is no coconut called for in the recipe, but if you'd like to add some to yours, 1/2 cup would be a good start. Add more or less if you like. Keep us posted about how yours turn out!

-- CM

Yummm! My mom, sister, and I used to make these when we were kids... but with coconut, not peanut butter. They were nicknamed "hotrods" in our family!

Barbara Blanchard (Oregon) replies:

When I was younger I used this recipe with coconut added and it was fantastic!

This is an easy, quick recipe especially if your looking for a good chocolate fix.

Aloha (Philippines) says:

This is great! I am looking for a summer activity for my preschool students and this will be very good for them.

I just made these and can't stop licking the spoon! So good!!!!

I've also added shelled pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. My grandson loves the cookies!

This recipe is secret. Why would some one put it on here?

·Mar 7 ·

Ginger (United States) replies:

Why is this a secret?? Seems there are a lot of people that know about it can't be much of a secret... Recipes are to be shared. People make things differently so they hardly ever taste the same.

I think the secret comment was meant as a joke... I thought it was funny!

Exteacher (Oregon) replies:

We couldn't see Amanda laughing when she said this recipe is a secret. She was just joking!

·Mar 9 ·

Diane (United States) replies:

I am 54 yrs. old, my grandmother made this same recipe when I was very young, my mom made it also, I made it at a young age, grandma sometimes made it with coconut. Both my mom & grandma never put peanut butter in, but I did, lol. This recipe has been around for ever, did`nt know it was a secret though. We also made it with just peanut butter for a change but added 1 cup of peanut butter, always cooked for 3 min. YUMMY anyway you want to make these wonderful cookies. I also found out years ago to never make on a rainy day. A stick of butter equals 1/2 cup of butter. My grandaughter helps me make these, so the recipe will continue on another generation.

·Mar 9 ·

Audrey (New Brunswick) replies:

My sister-in-law gave me a similar recipe years ago, she calls them Missouri Cookies. Yummy!

·Mar 10 ·

Sir Douglas (North Carolina) replies:

Being said that this is a secret recipe shows we don't read the cartons our groceries come in... This recipe has been on the Quaker Oats box for as long as I can remember...eh hem im no young rooster.

Hey Amanda, in regards to these being a secret! LMBO@YOU... I GOT IT. :)

·Mar 26 ·

Susan Borgersrode (United States) replies:

I was thinking this recipe originated years and years ago in South Carolina. My recipe says boil for 3 minutes. Can't believe the recipe would be good w/o pnut butter. I think that's what makes it. Amanda, I always thought it was my mom's secret recipe too. When I was in high school years ago her recipe calls for oleo. I didn't know what that was and left it out. They tasted good though. My mom and sister have never let me live this down.

·Apr 4 ·

Amy (New Jersey) replies:

Oh please, I have seen this recipe in kids cookbooks, for Heavens sake! No secret there!

No secret with this recipe. I am 56 years young and have enjoyed it since I was little tike. I like adding chow mein noodles to it to give it a little crunch. ymmmmy...

·May 2 ·

Patti (Illinois) replies:

No secret here.. I've been making these since 7th or 8th grade in Illinois. I'm 60 yrs old One of my favorites like an old friend when I'm down in dumps. LOL. I've added Chinese noodles, M&M's, nuts - never coconut tho'.. I have diabetes now so I can only dream of them.. Enjoy, they are a good chocolate fix too!

·May 28 ·

Pat Gorby (Michigan) replies:

I've been making these for years. I think a person would have to live on a deserted island to call this recipe a secret. Originally we used shortening and boiled it for 2 minutes, then we tried butter and found out it needed 4 minutes to be sure it hardened. Also, rice krispies make a good addition too.

·Jun 17 ·

Sandy (South Carolina) replies:

My mom made these for our family 50 years ago, so I agree with others that they are no secret! She added raisins to them alot of times. She also poured them into a greased pan and cut them like bar cookies.

·Jun 21 ·

Jan (United States) replies:

I am over 67 and my brother was given this recipe at school by a teacher, nothing is a secret with my brother! Pick a nice day with little or no humidity. Be sure to follow the measurements closely. Don't use the tubbed stuff, stick margarine (or real butter) works best and use quick cooking oats. My recipe says a full rolling boil for 1 minute. That isn't just the cooking time it means you have to keep stirring to keep it from boiling over. Be sure to use a large pot in order to boil without going over the sides and able to mix in the oats. Take off the heat and beat it some to start the cooling process then stir in the oats. Beat some more to incorporate the oats well then when you see it is starting to thicken and will hold its shape drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool if you can keep the family away. We prefer just the oats although I do sometimes put in pecans.

·Sep 10 ·

Lori (Pennsylvania) replies:

Ok, I've been reading through the comments and everyone is talking about this recipe being a secret but I didn't see anywhere that it said "secret recipe". I'm confused, been making these since I was a kid, I'm 35.

·Sep 22 ·

Dr Deisel (British Columbia) replies:

These have been around since Adam was a pup and are in no way "secret". We also made a variation that leaves out the peanut butter and adds 1 cup coconut and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. They were called "Haystacks" where I'm from.

·Nov 26 ·

Susan (Maryland) replies:

It is a secret!! We have fun families stories about this! And we secretly made this a lot when parents weren't watching! We still send these in the mail to each other for a instant hug from home. And, when we were very young, we would sing to learn "a half of a stick is a fourth of a cup.". Our version, from a 1960's Farm Journal cookbook, called for 1/4 cup butter, and yes, if we have it on hand, add the coconut and peanut butter. Add a pinch of cornstarch for a quick set on a rainy day.

·Nov 30 ·

Bobbie O (United States) replies:

Yes this is one of the few secret cookie recipes not a secret any longer. Id gone upstairs to go to the bathroom and when I came back I caught my 2 yr old (now 23) chomping on the whole batch and just covered in chocolate. YAY! Up to the bathroom again...

·Dec 19 ·

Kristapegana (Ontario) replies:

I am 36. I don't know about the secret. I read it but it didn't help much with the recipe LOLZ. I have been enjoying these cookies for 14.7 years. When I was summering in Cape Cod, I found these did not become hard - but they did in my home in Labrador! LOL. :) Also, low fat peanut butter is a fallacy. Peanut butter is peanut fat. All your children are going to be fat fatty fastronauts from eating these. LOL. They are delicious. I have to go to the bathroom now but then I will be making some. My children are 7, 10 and 12 and are stockily built. They also have beautiful freckles. The middle one likes them with peanut butter and the oldest enjoys the coconut. The other one doesn't say much. He's really into the "death metal". LOL :)

·Jan 9 ·

Peggy D (Oregon) replies:

When my time comes, you had better be waiting for me at the Pearly Gates, Grandma... You had me believing that this was YOUR secret recipe! I've looked for it everywhere, Never once did I see the recipe on an oatmeal box, the Internet, nor did anyone ever make them, but me! Every 4th of July, at the Town picnic, the kids would position themselves to be first when they uncovered my plate! One of the kid's mom's even sent my OWN SON to steal the secret recipe from me! I caught the little spy and wrote out an "altered recipe" for the tricky lady who put my son up to espionage... (who knew you can't substitute the 2 cups sugar for 1 cup flour & 1/4 cup cream cheese?... hee hee). One hour later, a frazzled disgruntled woman shows up at my door, didn't say a word... we just stared each other down and broke out in screaming laughter. I love you and miss you Grandma, but watch out... you got one coming from me.

·Jan 9 ·

Peggy D (Oregon) replies:

Okay, now that I've yelled at Grandma for lying to me about our "Secret", I thought I'd add a few tips that always worked for me. I've tried Cocoa, but Nestle's quick worked much better. Always use wax paper, not foil, glass or a cookie sheet, they won't harden. You can use Crunchy or Creamy Peanut butter, they both work great. ALWAYS use the Vanilla, they are just not the same without it. Also, you can use quick oats or regular, they will just turn out a bit "chewier" with the latter. If your cookies won't harden, try again and add another 1/4 cup oats and if you wish, some more peanut butter! You can't really mess this one up by adding more. The only thing that I found critical is making sure that I brought the mixture to a soft rolling boil, stirred only a few times during the boiling and only for 1 minute. Then I mixed in the Peanut Butter and Vanilla, stirred until mixed, then added the Oats. After a few times, you can tell whether or not they will harden by how fast it sets up during this step. If too wet, just add a bit more oats. Warning, this recipe will tend to make you chunky, give you a sugar buzz you won't believe, and you're sure to be the one the kids are waiting for during the town picnic. Watch out for recipe spies sent by jealous Mom's.

Sandra (United States) replies:

Hi all. This recipe was a requirement to pass a cooking class when I was in 7th grade, and I'm 59 now. I loved them then and was looking for variations...Great site! Thx all... oh and it's no secret, sorry!

·Jun 25 ·

Ruth (United States) replies:

Over 50 years ago when I was a girl at summer camp they made these delicious cookies. I got the recipe and started making them at home. I always called them camp cookies. I've had some variations but they seemed gooey to me. Can't beat chocolate and peanut butter! Over the years I lost my recipe so thanks for posting this not so "secret" recipe!

·Sep 22 ·

Starr (United States) replies:

Being said that this is a secret recipe shows we don't read the cartons our groceries come in... This recipe has been on the Quaker Oats box for as long as I can remember... eh hem I'm no young rooster. Same place I got the recipe years ago, Sir Douglas! no Secret in North Carolina

This is one of my absolute favorites. And I MUST say this. When the gal said "this recipe is secret...". It was a joke. Get it? You make these for your friends. They say "omg! These are sooo awesoooome! How'd you do it?" and YOU say, "It's a secret!" get it? It was a JOKE! Just sayin' :c)

·Dec 18 ·

Mari (California) replies:

Our cafeteria cook used to make these for us in a small rural town in New Mexico. They were wonderful. I am so happy they are not a secret I love them and they bring back many good memories.

·Feb 10 ·

Anne (New Hampshire) replies:

Secret?? LOL This recipe has been around since I was a kid... MANY years ago! always a favorite with my grandchildren! :)

Amanda, this is not a secret recipe, you can find it in a lot of cookbooks. I have used the can Chinese dry noodles also. They were very good. I use a little less peanut butter cause I find too much peanut butter makes them very dry. I like mine a little moist.

The secret is only when you eat them and are on a diet...Then you tell NO ONE :)

My daughter learned to make these cookies in middle school in the sixties. She made them every day all summer and gained 15 pounds, and wondered why she gained weight. I worked and didn't realize she was making these cookies so often. We've included in so many recipe books that we've had self published....no secret there.

·Nov 11 ·

Karie (United States) replies:

The first time I ever tried these was over 30 years ago, served in the cafeteria at elementary school, in North Carolina, so this is no secret recipe. Don't make these on a rainy or humid day because they will stay sticky and gooey and will not set.

·Dec 22 ·

Dee (California) replies:

In reply to the lady who said recipes are for sharing, I totally agree! I grew up in the 50's with my mother and aunt hoarding recipes and keeping them secret. Once I asked for a recipe from a friend (also from that era) and she replied, "I never share recipes!" Imagine! Thank Goodness for progress and our healthier change of attitude these days - so much more loving and fun.

·Jan 7 ·

Renay (California) replies:

Love these. Grew up munchung on them. No recipe should ever be a secret. Especially one amazing as this.

·Jan 7 ·

Jai King (Washington) replies:

I'm so grateful that this "secret" recipe was posted. Like many other commenters, my mom and I always made these. She's gone now and I lost the recipe. Tonight I'm going to have a little remembrance party with these.

·Mar 17 ·

Jayme (New York) replies:

How is this a "secret"? Growing up in Michigan my mother or sister would make these all the time, heck there would be a recipe for these printed either on the oats box or even on the coco as well... did you think your family invented it or something? I can understand being upset if someone leaked a 5 star recipe of Duck � l'orange but not so much on a recipe you could get from the back of Quaker Oats LOL

·Dec 24 ·

Cheryl (United States) replies:

This is no secret. I'm 59 years old and my mother made these when I was a child. Without peanut butter.

·Feb 11 ·

Theresa Berry (Texas) replies:

This recipe is not secret, it has been around forever. I love it though!

·Mar 7 ·

Christina (Ontario) says:

I love these cookies... So much that I'm using them as my topic for my demo speech in school. Any ideas to make them healthier?

Christina... try reduced fat peanut butter, or you can leave the peanut butter out... still good, just a different taste.

·Feb 12 ·

Yummy Mummy (Pennsylvania) replies:

Christina, you got me thinking about the healthier version.
Swap out the cocoa for carob, change out the peanut butter for Tahini (cashew butter), use applesauce (unsweetened) instead of the sugar, and reduce it to 1 cup, or use honey (one half cup). I found for a bit more robust flavor, use Buckwheat honey, for a softer sweetness, use Wildflower honey. Honestly, though, it's ALL good!

·Mar 7 ·

Terry Sluder (South Carolina) says:

My recipe says cook 3 minutes, I always have, and it turns out great! Just don't make these when it's rainy weather. They don't harden good. Terry, Walhalla, South Carolina.

·Mar 16 ·

Briana (Tennessee) replies:

Hi, I was just wondering if I could receive some help. I love these cookies but when I make them they don't get hard. What am I doing wrong? I follow the instructions word from word, boil for one minute on med heat. I don't know what to do! help! thanks

·Mar 29 ·

Levi (Washington) replies:

I don't know why, but this recipe is the one that people keep asking me to make for them. Like they can't do it or something.

I used to have a bit of a time - either too soft & gooey or they got rock hard and crumbly. I fixed it by substituting some of the sugar with Karo syrup. Fixed the problem both ways. It's really good with extra crunchy PB. I must be the only one that likes the whole rolled oats. I like the chewy texture. (Keep in mind my mother was a horrid cook).

·Apr 9 ·

Jayson (Arizona) replies:

Please make sure that you allow the mix to BOIL for at least 2 minutes, (stirring all the time) If you don't, the chemical reaction will not occur and the cookies will not harden - Trust me on this.

·May 6 ·

Sue (United States) replies:

My earliest memories of this cookie was 52 years ago. It is still our family favorite. I enjoyed seeing all the different add-ins and hope to try most of them. We always boiled (full rolling) for 90 seconds. I always say that if they do not set up - use for ice cream topping. If they are too hard - crumble and use for ice cream topping. (lol)

·May 11 ·

Lindsay (Florida) replies:

I've tried this recipe three times now, and it absolutely will not harden. I thought I wasn't boiling it enough, but each time I boiled it for a minute more and it's still not working.

·Jun 16 ·

Linda (Illinois) replies:

One reason these cookies won't set is if you use a soft (tub type) margarine. They require BUTTER or a stick margarine that hardens in the refrigerator. Made them with tub margarine a couple of times. Finally figured it out.

·Aug 7 ·

Kathleen (Georgia) replies:

Several people have mentioned a problem with getting these to harden. I discovered when I was in college that you have to read the box on the butter/margarine. I prefer to use real butter (heart attack on a plate), but have used margarine on occasion. However, if you use a margarine with too high an oil content, the cookies won't harden. So, check that. If the box says something like "vegetable spread," the cookies most likely won't harden well. Go for the real butter; it really does make a difference!!

Great recipe. Had problems with first batch not hardening until the next day, but had substituted margarine for butter. Made second batch and used REAL BUTTER, made all the difference! Cookies set up almost immediately. Also used old fashioned oats for instant and they worked fine.

I like Dutch cocoa best in these. To answer those who say they are too gooey, just turn the heat way down and add the final ingredients and then cook them for about 3 more minutes until they thicken, and then put them on the waxed paper. Refrigerate them right away (or even put them in the freezer, if you're in a hurry). Also, use only real stick butter. Margarine doesn't harden enough. It also works better with a peanut butter like Skippy rather than the freshly ground kind (I eat them so infrequently, who care?!).

·May 25 ·

Donna (Louisiana) replies:

These no bake cookies are very good when you put chocolate chips, coconut, peanut butter all at one time. Sometimes you have to use a little more oats than what it calls for and most times that will make them harder. Also, if you will put them on a brown paper bags they will harden faster. Hope it works for you.
P.S. my recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup, that is what helps them to get hard.

·May 31 ·

Brooke Baugh (United States) replies:

We made these when we were little but we called them freezer cookies because we put them in the freezer so they would harden up, lol!

·Jun 7 ·

Jeremy (North Carolina) replies:

I have found out that if you dont use the right amount of oats your cookies will never harden. I tried using just two cups instead of three because I was about out of oats and they stayed flat and mushy. I have made these lots of times for me and family and I tried using crunchy peanut butter and it was really good that way, it gave it a crunchy taste. These are by far my favorite cookies!

·Jul 1 ·

Kathryn Clark (Texas) replies:

It is very important to time 3 min. from the time that the mixture begins a bubbling, rising, boil...not when it first begins...just be patient here...it will pay off whenever you drop them on the wax paper, and they harden. Been making this same recipe for over 40 years !

I love these cookies and used to make them all the time. Now I've moved to a high altitude and they turn out hard and crumbly. Any suggestions? I can't find a high altitude recipe for this. Oh, and I've also heard them called Preacher's Cookies - if the preacher comes over you can whip them up fast for him.

·Jul 4 ·

Upstate NY (New York) replies:

I made these while living in the mountains near Taos and they came out fine... the boiling temp is lower at higher altitudes so just don't cook them as long and they should be fine.

·Jul 24 ·

Patti Harris (Oklahoma) replies:

The trick with these cookies is to bring them to a boil over the low end of medium heat, if you do it too quickly over high heat the sugar does not have time to dissolve and the cookies will not set correctly. Also, bring them to a rolling boil and maintain a soft rolling boil then for one minute. Boiling the mixture on a wild rolling boil tends to leave them dry and mealy. Remove from heat immediately then stir in remaining ingredients.

·Jul 27 ·

Heidi (California) replies:

If they don't harden stick them in the fridge for a little bit... This is what my mom used to do when she made them and had to get them to harden quick before all of us kids ate them lol

·Sep 16 ·

Anne (Wisconsin) replies:

The reason the cookies may not be hardening is that they didn't boil long enough for the sugar to set up. My recipe says to bring to a hard boil (one that will not stir down), then cook for 2 minutes by the clock. Take off heat immediately and spoon onto waxed paper.

·Oct 2 ·

Tarly (California) replies:

Ok, so I love these cookies. The first time they were fudgy and delish but ever since I cannot get them to harden very well and they aren't the same!?! Do I need to cook for three minutes?? No stirring or stirring? Please help before I go crazy making messed up batches!

You must boil for exactly 3 minutes... The cookies will not harden otherwise. If you boil longer than 3 minutes, the cocoa will burn.

·Dec 14 ·

Jim B. (Missouri) replies:

Unbelievable, 259 of you think they are great. If you are getting ready for a cardiac event, if you keep eating them as written. The amount of saturated fat is not healthy for anyone. I substituted low fat margarine, skim milk, and natural peanut butter. Sure, they will not harden that way, but refrigeration helps. AND, you and your kids will be healthier in the long run!

·Dec 25 ·

Gramma juju (United States) replies:

If you use peanut butter (especially too much), the cookies will take a lot longer to harden up due to the oil content in the peanut butter. I love adding about a 1/4 cup coconut & then placing 3 almonds on the top (in a flower shape) to dress them up for parties. I think it makes them taste like an Almond Joy candy bar!!

Ok I have known about this recipes for years and my grandmother use to make it for me a lot. I have made them a long time ago but for some reason the last 2 years I have tried to make them, they wont harden for me!! Any ideas? I thought maybe I needed to use a different butter but I am not sure which one to use now. I cant believe I forgot how to make them the way my grandmother did for me :(

·Jun 3 ·

Millie (North Carolina) replies:

These are great cookies. The only hint I have is to make them when the day is clear, not raining or too humid outside. I've found that they will not set up if you do.

·Jul 31 ·

Janice (South Carolina) replies:

How come I always crave these on rainy days? Thanks for the reminder not to make when it's raining. I always do and they don't harden.

·Oct 4 ·

Lesley (Arizona) replies:

Well shoot, I was all ready to go make these, glad I read through some of the comments... It's raining buckets outside!

·Nov 17 ·

Jennifer (Washington) replies:

Really want to make these but it's RAINING out.. It explains alot about past batches...

·Sep 12 ·

Cheryl G. (Georgia) replies:

My favorite "no bake" cookie recipe. My mother made these & I do once or twice a year... always at Christmas too as it is great to add to a cookie platter. We know them as "Instant Cocoa Candy". So easy, but so good. I have never made it with peanut butter, but will try sometime as well as some of the other great ideas! As someone else said, if there is a lot of humidity or raining, try not to make or maybe add a little less milk or they won't harden.

I've made this for years. It is actually in my mom's old church cookbook. When I took home economics in high school, found the recipe in her cookbook and made it for my family. For Christmas, decided to make it without the oatmeal, added a little more peanut butter, then poured the mixture in a 9x9 pan. Cut it into squares when hardened. Ever since, my family expects this at every holiday gathering. But this recipe is the best. By the way, don't make this recipe when it's raining. Also, my recipe says to boil for 3 minutes. Great recipe and glad to see it posted here.

·Mar 12 ·

Regina (California) replies:

I have made these cookies in every type of weather and never had a problem with them setting, they come out a winner every time. I usually get in the mood to bake when its raining and the no bake cookies are always on the top of my list.

True do not make if its raining! I know, they will not harden. And there real soft that you have eat them with a spoon. Lol!

·Nov 11 ·

Angela Hamon (Louisiana) replies:

Thank you . I forgot how much milk to use. We use peanut butter flour to reduce the fat and calories. SO much easier to stir. And don't make these when it's raining!

·Mar 11 ·

Sara Marsh (Indiana) says:

My recipe calls to heat until it bubbles around the edge of the pan. YUM!

Samantha (United States) says:

My husband & all his friends loved these!! I've made two batches in two days...& they're still asking for more!! Thanks!!

·Mar 13 ·

Mary (Massachusetts) says:

We call these Aunt Joan Macarroons in our family. I've substituted peppermint extract for vanilla in the past - for mint/choco cookies. Also - raisins are a nice addition. Best of all though is to use a really nice chocolate like Merckens from King Arthur Flour -- that makes it the best!

this was my favorite cookie as a kid..i never had the recipe..thanks cooks.com

Joseph,

You're welcome - It's one of our favorites, too! It's fun to see all the variations.

-- CM

my mom had made these forever and i always eat them hot in a big blob
instead of dollops, anyways they are great with fresh ground almond butter as a healthier alternative to peanut butter and to try a different taste to a great recipe!!

I used to make these as a kid w/ my Grandma's, but hadn't made them in forever. Tried them tonight w/ Splenda and was seriously not impressed! Made another small batch with sugar and they were much better, but it must have been too humid, because they're still soft and gooey several hours later. Sure taste good though!!
