Thanks WTM! I might have to spring that on the family, as my wife makes them, but I never have! :grin:

My girlfriend makes these, they are really good. Easy to make, but don't last long in our house.

PS: She uses super crunchy peanut butter, it adds some extra crunch to the cookies.

oh yeah i forgot to put in directions, KEEP STIRRING it until you take off heat or you will have a burnt mess. also if you dont cook it for 1 minute while at a full boil youll have runny cookies that wont harden. if you cook it too long then your cookies will harden in the pan before you have time to drop them, sorta like chocalat granola.

you can also add 1/2 cup pecans, just use only about 1 1/2 cups oatmeal.
