Hi Natalie - Growing up, we used to make something like this when I was a kid - we used nuts instead of either the coconut or the oats - I can't remember - it was probably the coconut - we always got a stocking full of mixed nuts at Christmas (5 kids!) so we had an abundance of nuts at the holidays - Grandma was there too visiting for the holidays (she was a traveling saleswoman!) who we all adored, so it was especially fun! Thanks for the fun memory.

I'm so glad it brought back such warm memories.

I have the same measuring cups which I got from Tupperware maybe in the 70's with those good old 70s colours! They are the ones I always use to bake. Thank you for the recipe!

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

Yes! I've had my measuring cups for eons, but I love that they have all 6 measurements (including 2/3 cup), unlike some of the newer sets that only have 4.

I'm in New Brunswick. We call them chocolate macaroons too. My mother made these all the time when we kids would announce at bedtime that we needed cookies for a party at school the next day. My poor Mama. So glad these are quick and easy. She always came through in a crunch. Thank you for bringing up a wonderful memory!

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

I've used them as emergency treats myself!

[@Bettyboo336]

I’m from New Brunswick as well, and grew up calling them frog cookies, lol

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

I love the name! I might have to start calling them that, too!

[@cathymcreynolds1509]

Thanks so much for this recipe, I have already made one batch and it's gone and they want to know when I am going to make another. They are delicious, my mother-in-law used to make these years ago, and I never knew the recipe so thanks again for sharing 💕.

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

You are so welcome! I have to make another batch, too. LOL

[@jacobstigge4180]

Delicious!! I’m making these for my girlfriend’s family and I can’t wait for them to try them! Thanks for the great recipe

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

You're very welcome. Enjoy!

[@robertfortin213]

You need more heat. so the the cookies solidify. The medium and hard boil is best or until the chocolate coats the back of the spoon. Use a heavy sauce pan as it will retain the heat better.

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

More heat would definitely make the cookies more solid. I do have to say that I like mine soft and chewy, though. :)

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I love yr recipes. Can l use castor sugar in this recipe. Thanks in advance.

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

Hello! I love hearing from people living in other parts of the world! I have to admit, I had to look up castor sugar, but it seems it is close to our granulated sugar, so it would be fine in this recipe. Enjoy!

@@Escapetothe8thConcession Thanks for responding 🌹

[@dragons8822]

Did you let them sit to firm up ? or did you bake them ? You never said.

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

They are no-bake, drop cookies. Just drop them on the sheets and put them in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour until they are firm. Then enjoy!

[@galilali4]

The title says no-bake

[@philiplefort7819]

Why margerine? Why not butter?

[@Escapetothe8thConcession]

Several of us in our family are lactose intolerant, so I don't keep butter in the house.
