Super, super easy and gooey and delicious! The kids loved these and I did too :) I dropped them by tablespoonfuls and got 34 out of the batch. After setting for about an hour I turned them over so the bottoms would lose their stickiness too. Thanks for sharing...this is a keeper to satisfy those chocolate cravings!

These are simply delicious! My son is allergic to peanuts, and many of the no bake cookie recipes I have found are not suitable for our home. The only changes I made were to use only 3 tbs. butter, and increase to 1 tsp vanilla. They came out perfectly dry on the outside and the coconut helps to make them very chewy! (no soggy cookies here!) Thanks for a great recipe that is sure to become a keeper!

This is the same recipe my mom has in her kitchen. However, she substitutes the one cup coconut for and additional cup of oatmeal. Its a great recipe, and is usually all eaten before it even has a chance to cool. I just spoon some into a bowl as soon as all ingredients are mixed and grab a fork. Yum!
