I have cooked and eaten this recipe since childhood. I live in hot humid Louisiana and in the summers I never use the big gas oven. This recipe is the easiest sweet that I know how to cook, and nowadays I usually do it in the microwave. I am another who does not measure when I cook, but this looks like the ratio that I use, except that I used double that amount of cocoa powder, and I don't used the vanilla. The only other difference is that I continue to cook for a minute or so after I add the oats. But it is a recipe that is easy to modify all sorts of ways, and I often use cold cereal like Rice Crispies or CherriO's instead of oats. In that case, remove from heat before adding the cereal. I often use the no-bake with RiceCrispies as the first layer and then add a layer of marshmallow crispy treats.

I'm not sure how to rate these, because I've never had no-bake cookies before, and wasn't sure what to expect. I really like the flavor, but not the texture. I used rolled oats so that may be the problem, I think quick oats would have worked better. Also, after mixing the oats an PB in, the mixture was really wet.Too wet to hold any shape. I thought it might set up, but it didn't so I add two cups of rice krispies and that did the trick. Lastly, I used 11/2 C sugar and still thought they were a little too sweet. I love that the recipe doesn't call for a lot of butter. I'm glad I tried these, they were fun and different to make. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I love to cook...just not clean. (I'm VERY messy in the kitchen...could use every dish in the kitchen to make a bowl of oatmeal.) =)
