The cooking time is wrong you should not boil for 5 minutes because that is to long, boil for no longer then 1 minute. one star

These are great also if you substitute one cup coconut for one cup of the oatmeal! five stars

Excellent. My family hovers while I'm making these and then barely lets them harden before they're trying to eat them. I also drop them by spoonfuls onto wax paper. They make great school and anytime snacks. five stars

I have made these for years and our whole family LOVE these cookies. The oats I use R quick oats and I have omitted the cocoa at different times & they R still delicious. I also only cook the mixture from 2-3 min.
I also have noticed if the weather is dreary out the cookies do not set very well, as I drop mine by the teaspoon on wax paper. five stars

I am a baker by desire. I love to try new recipes. This is a keeper, I did not at the salt and didn't miss it at all. Great for kids!!!! five stars
