GrandMa Sharon made these with my 2 year old granddaughter Ada. They are her Potty training treats. We did substitute vanilla extract for almond. Delicious.
Cooked to long, I ended up with crumble, do not cook sugar and cocoa that long. Never will use this recipe again.
Family loves them. Thanks
I love them they are so good! I put a little allspice in them and made the even better!
The ingredients are correct, but after the mixture comes to a full rolling boil, it should only boil for **1 minute.** Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in peanut butter, vanilla and quick oats. Spoon onto waxed paper to set up. If the mixture cooks too long, the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
It tasted great and i liked it but you have to be fast spooning out the batter because it hardens quickly
I just made the recipe it did not turn out the way that I wanted because I used the wrong peanut butter. Other wise I enjoyed it.
Loved it and was so easy to make. I had to stop making to often.
This recipe is awesome, I made these cookies last week and now my wife and her friends are bothering me to make more. Thank you for the fantastic recipe.
This is very close to a recipe my mom made throughout my childhood. The recipe might even match exactly. If I come across my copy in the kitchen, I’ll compare. We made it exactly like the recipe except for using stick margarine rather than butter. The cookies were made for a holiday cookie swap at work, so I didn’t get to eat many, but I feel like my Mom’s recipe kind of melted in the mouth a bit more. Since the last cookie I ate was a bit stale, it may have affected my perceptions and memories. Even with a slight texture variance, even not getting to eat many, they were phenomenal. Brought back so many memories.
Yummmmy
I would totally make this again.
First batch I used old fashioned oatmeal and my grandson loved them the second time I made them I used less sugar but did them the right way and he was not to impressed but said they were yummy either way
I followed directions exactly and it came out very dry, tastes great but almost as dry as regular oatmeal. When I checked online, it said if this happens it’s probably because I cooked it too long. I was careful to watch the heat & time. Wish I knew a way to use it without throwing it out. My husband is eating it dry by the spoonful, but not quite what he was hoping for! Glad it worked for many of you, I think I will try a different recipe.
These were ok. Didn’t set the way they should.
Delicious! I added a half a cup more flour and 1 tablespoon more cocoa. Tip: make sure you have everything measured and ready in advance so you get the timing right.
Followed recipe. They turned out Perfect! I like the peanut butter in the recipe.
Quick and easy. Tasted just like I remember as a kid.
Made exactly as receipe said. Taste just like my grandmother’s recipe. Wonderful.
Same recipe I grew up with! Lost my recipe card, so am happy I found this exact one. Only had extra crunchy peanut butter, but have used it before & it adds a great new texture. However, I do a slow rolling boil for 2 minutes, then add the vanilla & peanut butter, stir until PB is melted. Then add the oats. So not sure what all the extra cooking/boiling does to the recipe. If want them a little chewy, boil for 90 minutes & freeze.
I’ve been making these my whole life and this is the same recipe we always used..They was good as I remember them, even my son ate the rest of them..
