These easy, yummy cookies were a huge hit at our family Christmas celebration. Luckily, I was able to grab a snapshot before they all disappeared! Here’s the recipe:
In a large pan, stir together:
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 T cocoa
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup milk or half-and-half
Bring to a boil and continue boiling for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in:
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut
- 2 cups quick oatmeal
Drop by spoonsful onto waxed paper. Cookies will set up as they cool. P.S. I recommend making a double batch . . . they won’t last long! ♥
PILLOWS A-LA-MODE 
They look delicious!!
Thank you, Michelle! It was my mom’s recipe, so my brother especially enjoyed them! 🙂
Double? You mean triple don’t you? My son learned to make these in cooking class after which they became a family favorite, and one of the few cookies I can make in my own apartment.
Yes . . . definitely triple! 🙂
these look SO delicious – they would be dangerous in our house!
Yes, they ARE dangerous . . . especially to all us New Year’s dieters! 🙂
These look yummy and easy to make….bonus!
I remember my mom making them . . . we’d light up when we saw those sheets of waxed paper lined up on the kitchen counter! 🙂
I know what camille will be making this week… She will be thrilled 🙂
Yay! I know she’s quite the cook . . . she’ll love these! 🙂
No Bake Cookies are fave at our house!! We have to be sure not to make them on a humid day, though, cause then they won’t set. (One of the joys of baking in the muggy south…)
I hadn’t thought of that! I guess they’d make good ice cream topping that way, though! 🙂
They do!! I’ve also just scooped them up and eaten them with a spoon. 🙂
Looks good!
Thank you! I LOVE using my mom’s recipes! 🙂
Yummy! The whole exercise plan I set up kinda clashes with these, though. I’ll just cancel the exercise plan.
Oops . . . that was pretty mean of me to post this when everyone is starting New Year’s diets!!! Sorry! 🙂
Mean? No!
See, I’ll eat them only after I exercise.
Not before and after.
Only after.
::grin::
I make a similar cookie that my family loves, but my recipe doesn’t call for coconut. I’ll have to try your recipe the next time I make these. The coconut sounds really good.
It really does give it an extra-special something . . . I hope you love it! 🙂
Yum!!
Yum is right! Luckily they all disappeared before I started my yearly New Year’s diet! 🙂
This I hope to try, I’m sure the grands would all love, and enjoy them. Thanks for sharing the recipes. Mtetar
You’re very welcome! I hope they love the cookies! 🙂
I’m sure they will. I love all the ingredients myself. Mtetar
Chocolate? Peanut butter? You’re talkin’ my language! Plan to make these with my granddaughters this weekend!
Yay! They’re SO easy and so tasty . . . I hope they love them! And you’re right . . . those are two very magical ingredients! 🙂
Woww! I too prepared and shared these cookies on my blog, this Christmas, but with only unsalted butter. They were nice too. They are really yummy 🙂
I just checked them out . . . they look delicious! 🙂
I ❤ chocolate and I ❤ PB! Winning combo! Will make these for sure!
I know . . . how can you go wrong with THAT??? 🙂 And they’re SO easy! I hope you love them! 🙂
My family has a very similar recipe, and they’re TOO easy to whip up for a craving! But coconut – didn’t think to add that in there!
Coconut was my mom’s *secret ingredient* for these . . . it really does give them a lovely flavor and bit of a crunch! 🙂
coconut was the added ingredient I noticed…sounds yummy!
My brother commented that most of the similar recipes don’t have coconut and he was happy that I added it since that’s how our mom made them! 🙂
These sound yummy and more healthy than the average cookie. Do you think it would work to substitute honey for sugar?
I’d sure give it a try! Please let me know how it turns out! 🙂
These look yummy! No-bake makes them super simple to whip up on short notice too!
I hope you love them! 🙂
Q – Every time I see this recipe I chuckle with memories. In my college dorm in the late 60’s and early 70’s we weren’t allowed to have hot plates to cook with. A few of us got popcorn poppers instead, the old electric type that looked like slow cookers. We used to make these cookies in our popcorn poppers! So, so good!
How clever is THAT??? Where there’s a will, there’s a way, right? LOVE that story . . . thank you! 🙂
Yum! I just jotted the recipe down, I’m sure Kyra will love helping to make these 🙂
Yay! I hope you love them as much as we do! 🙂
Granddaughter Gracie and I made these tonight and they were so good that we are sending the rest to work with Grandpa tomorrow so we don’t eat the whole batch!
Oh, that just warms my heart! 🙂 I have to NOT make them for awhile . . . they’re just way too irresistible sitting on the kitchen counter!!! 🙂

You had me at No Bake! Boy, those look really yummy!
I know . . . those are magic words, aren’t they! I loved these when my mom used to make them when we were little, and I still love them today! 🙂
These look really good and easy to make 🙂
They ARE! Now I need to NOT eat goodies for awhile after all the Christmas indulging! 🙂
They look much like what my mom used to make, but without the peanut butter. I do love no-bake recipes. 🙂
It was my mom’s recipe! 🙂 Still love it! 🙂
I love no bake, I am going to have to try these, they look yummy
You’ll love them!!! 🙂
Wow these look soooo good!! 😀
Mmm . . . they ARE . . . musn’t make them again for a LONG time!!! 🙂
