"Quick & simple "cookie" recipe that requires no baking. Mom used to make these often, and I would always steal cookies before they had fully cooled and set (you know what I'm talking about!)"

  1. Hum! Used a timer, followed directions and the candies turned out to be very dry. Perhaps because I used quick Quaker Oats?
     
  2. These little morsels are out of this world.......IF ya add some chopped salted cashews to the mix!
     
  3. most delicious thing I have put in my mouth, however I had serious problems trying to scoop them and drop them and have them stay together. this MAY be because I am new at it or it might just be a bit dry.
     
  4. Such a classic Mom recipe! There was only 2 of us eating them so I split the recipe in half, used 3/4 cup sugar and sweetened coconut. I didn't even have wax paper but they are coming off of the non stick pan fine. They are almost half gone! A quick, one-pan recipe with delicious results - thank you. :)
     
  5. 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!

Tweaks

  1. I’m adding pumpkin seeds and flax seeds and maple marshmallows
     
  2. just added chopped salted cashews...easy-peasy
     
  3. My mom used to make these also and serve them cold from the freezer which I prefer. I like the addition of the optional vanilla for which I used an alcohol free type from the health food store. I used butter, canned keshta (thick cream) mixed with water for the milk, carob powder to be caffeine free, old fashioned oats, plus crushed blanched almonds in place of the coconut but I think coconut would be better. As you can see this is a very easily adapted recipe.
     
  4. I've made these for years and now making them for kids and grandkids. Mine were crumbly and hard to work with but I forgot the butter so I added it after the fact with no problem. I've also used walnuts instead of coconut. This also works great as does letting them dry on parchment paper. No fuss, not mess and recycled! Great suggestion from the cooks about reducing the sugar but don't know about the oatmeal though?
