Press into pan and refrigerate, and then you can cut it into bars. Saves lots of time! Also, cut the sugar, as other reviews attested, and use 1 1/3Cups sugar instead. Still sweet!
So delicious and easy to make. My husband’s favorite one
These are what I remember making when I was a kid. Very good!
The only substitution I made was not adding the coconut because my friends don’t like it as much. I had an a little tiny bit more vanilla. They turned out great.
One of my favorite cookies and so easy. I only used 1 1/2 cups of sugar and they were still really sweet, next time might try even less.
Too crumbly, not chocolate enough , I think it’s due to boiling the sugar mixture to long. I will try again with modifications.
I made this when I was working at a summer camp. It’s a fun recipe to make with friends and these cookies so QUICK!
Great! Perfect quick and delicious cookies! This brought back memories of when I was a kid cooking with my grandmother. I will say the probably major change I made was using quick rolled oats rather than just plain rolled oats. The “quick” absorb the caramel-type mixture much faster, requiring no further cooking. The other key is to watch your temperature. I started the sugar, milk and margarine mixture off on medium until all was melted and dissolved, then put it up to high until it started boiling, then down to low for the last 4-5 minutes stirring constantly. That’s when you add everything else and you’ve got very hot, but definite to set for you cookies! Good luck!!!
Delicious but very sweet
I made these with coconut milk, I can’t have dairy, they were delicious.
These are great for when the grandchildren are around. They love to help doing the measuring and of course eating them.
Only boil 2 mins! And add an extra tablespoon of cocoa.
Followed the recipe exactly. Ended up with chocolate Oatmeal cookie crumbs. What am I going to do with this mess? And I am not an inexperienced cook.
they were good but took 6 hrs to set up all the way.But worth it,my granddaughter and sister loved them.
I follow the recipe as it was stated, l boiled it for 4 minutes and when l went to make it everything failed, so l try for 2 minutes of boiling and it work this time around, do not boil for 4 to 5 minutes because it does not work. I followed everything else for the ingredients and they do work.
Turned out great with the oats cooked that short time. Keeps them chewy! Otherwise you get gooey oatmeal. I substituted peanut butter for the coconut the way Mom used to.
Flavor is good but shorten boiling time as 4-5 minutes is too long. They dry too quickly and are very crumbly. I think if you shorten the boiling period to 1-2 minutes you will have more luck with this recipe.
love it! best cookies ever! totally the best!
This is the easiest, quickest recipe for a delicious snack! I always add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips too. They freeze well, they are safe to pack for lunches, and they literally take under 10 minutes to make. And they are very very yummy!
This was great ,but the boiling time was WAY to short…I wish I had done these differently. I will make these again, but will boil the sugar mixture more.
Tastes great. Didn’t add coconut. Not quite 5 star but a very solid 4. Will make again. Thanks!
