No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies - Twelve Days of Christmas Day #4 - works every time!

[@luracc1967]

The only problem I've ever had with these cookies, is I can't stop eating them. They are addictive!

[@amyserra440]

Yeah I love to make chocolate cookies

[@janshe3597]

You can say that again…My son always gets me to make four batches for his Holiday Dinner at the shop…

[@carolcrampton6245]

I just pour my mixture into an 8x8 parchment lined dish,let it cool completely, then cut it into 1x1 inch squares. So much easier then dropping by spoon fulls!

[@REDWASP777]

Great Tip! I'm Going To Make These ASAP! Will Be Adding Raisins. 😊

[@laurale8299]

I've done that too, and added a few pecans.

[@debraspringers2098]

Great tips!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

yes I do this too.....think I even like them better....

[@janetbrown8785]

I watched Mama Joyce for years and was also watching through her illness. She was such a witness for the Lord and I know she is in Heaven now. It was so nice of you to talk about her and her recipe. Her son Marshall has a channel now and I hope he sees your video. I know it would warm his heart. ☺️ I am going to try to make these again. Our grand kids will love them. You and your wife are a great team. ❤

[@maryalexis7328]

So good. Thanks.

[@joycesvoice2]

How sweet of you to notice this video and will surely mention it to Joyce's son. ❤ I am going to look up her son's channel, now. Thank you ❤🎉😊

[@JudyBarnes-pv4jc]

We call these "Jimmy cookies" at my house, after my brother who dearly loved these. He would make a batch at any time of day or night. We lost Jimmy at 34 years of age, so your video brought tears to my eyes.

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Good memories though. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@REDWASP777]

Mamma Joyce Was A Great Lady & Fantastic Southern Cook! Her Son Marshall Is Carrying On Mammas Cooking Traditions! Thank You Tom & Melissa For All Of Your Great & Handy Recipes! 🎉

[@Jport3]

I too gave up on making these dark evil mounds of sugar. 50+ years I tried. I was FINALLY able to make them when I saw a youtuber make some with a THERMOMETER!!! 230° is the sweet spot. Hallelujah! I finally made a perfect batch of no bake cookies 2 months ago!! Someone earlier mentioned putting them in a pan and cutting them. I'll try it that way next. Thanks for the video!

[@kimberlylee1329]

I remember eating the old fashioned fudge with a spoon many times as a child. I am 65 now. My mom used the drop in the water method to see if it was done!! Haha!

[@nana195455]

I have made these for over 50 years. I do leave out the peanut butter (for those with allergies). Sometimes I add a little coconut. Really good. I always loved watching mama Joyce. And loved how she shared Jesus.

[@jesusknowsmethisilov]

I also try to make them without peanut butter. Mine usually fail and i have to make a second batch to get it right. I dont make them often enough to remember how to get it right the first time. I’ve written down what i do but always second guess myself. Can you tell me how long you boil the mixture before you add the oatmeal?

[@jesusknowsmethisilov]

Ps… i do know that if you add the peanut butter you don’t have to cook them as long. I’ve never beat the mixture either, that’s another consideration. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@nana195455]

@@jesusknowsmethisilov I just follow the recipe except for not adding the peanut butter. I have never had a problem with them

[@cherylp.3347]

I grew up with a similar recipe,no peanut butter, but it had coconut. Never had a problem.

[@AmandaWright-k7p]

I'm so thankful you mentioned coconut!!

[@robin9926]

I loved watching Mama Joyce. She was so sweet. My heart 💔 was broken when she passed. I'm so glad her son Marshall continued cooking her dishes for everyone. I love watching him also. Your channel reminds me of the 2 of them so sweet and caring. I'm thankful I found your channel. Y'all are one of my favorite channels to watch.

[@pathunterdohner9052]

We used to make these with our great-aunt. We call them "Aunt Kay's Cookies. She didn't put peanut butter in hers. So good. We sure do miss her.

[@carolowen9595]

I was born in 1952, me, my Mom and her niece went to the State Fair of Texas together when I was 6 years old. I remember sitting on a grassy area called the Esplanade. We made these cookies to take with us to enjoy. Then, I made these and won a first place ribbon for these in 4th grade for 4-H. Such good memories. I'm enjoying your videos.

[@KayMcLin-in8wi]

That was a great memory and wonderful story!! Ty for sharing!

[@JenniferSmith-25]

These were some of my mom’s favorite cookies to make and to eat. She could whip them up in no time at all. Liz and I are enjoying your 12 Days in Christmas, so thanks Tom and Melissa❣️

[@stevenkimsey7039]

J & L!

[@blee4974]

I to this day I make a lot of Momma Joyce’s cooking and yes she was a wonderful and kind and godly woman. So miss her stories when she worked and having the test 😂 She do the thumbs up. I truly miss her and think of her when I cook something of hers.❤The cookies are so good and when I have them ,brings back memories being a kid😊 Thanks Tom

[@MAEURASTAR]

I'm 75 and my mother made these cookies. Good tutorial

[@craigcanfield5474]

This is my mom's exact recipe that she used for many, many years! I've made it many times over the years, too. They're always perfect! We call them chocolate oatmeal goodies. ~ Mrs. C.

[@carlasworld8571]

My favorite cookie, I could eat the whole batch by myself. I loved watching Momma Joyce, she is missed.

[@vsnewsome]

I too made these cookies years ago as a teenager and we loved them! Since I love raisins I would scoop the majority of the cookies onto parchment paper without raisins, then to the remaining cookies still in the saucepan I sprinkled in a few raisins and proceeded to scoop those out. Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good oatmeal raisin cookie? Raisin haters can still get their cookies from the first scoops . Tom and Melissa thank you very much for all your hard work, your growing subscribers prove that you are doing all the right things. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas. God Bless you❤️❤️

[@NanasWorld2007]

I miss everything about Mama Joyce. I watched for a few years up to her passing. that little giggle when she was embarrassed then she would say Sonny Boy. That lady could cook up some grittles for sure. These look good I never can make em either mine are always falling apart

[@lindasaffles4189]

To make sure the cookies don't come out crumbly you add a little brown sugar to replace the equivalent whute sugar. Just a fourth cup of brown instead of that measurement of white sugar. It makes them so good.

[@wandajohnston8352]

yes to brown sugar...also add a tablespoon more coco and 3/4 peanut butter...save 1/2 stick butter to put in after the boil...sooooooo goooood!!!

[@brandic3612]

SAME. SO FUNNY 😂😂😂😂 ROFL!!!! I've just started to get it right. Two minutes is the trick! You can even add more pb, and I think I even use 3c of oats, but nothing matters as much as the 2minute boil.

[@jws4406]

Thank you for showing this recipe! These cookies have never worked for me so I also gave up. I’m going to try this again!

[@maureengriepentrog1847]

Memories are bittersweet when you miss someone during the holidays but cooking together was the sweet part. Made these with my mom. I’m enjoying each video! The presentation, the banter, the humor and the way you welcome everyone into your kitchen. I wonder how many people will be enjoying having you in their kitchens this Christmas as well. I know we will! May God bless you both!

[@pamelameckley5040]

I'm feeling the same way, made these with my mom and aunt both. Just wanted you to know you weren't alone with the bittersweet memories. Hoping you have a Merry Christmas.☺️

[@judyharmon4586]

A cookie in each hand, Melissa, is called a "balanced diet" 😁

[@lindakeller3259]

Love that 😊

[@justinawoelke6088]

😂

[@gloriafinnegan3036]

❤❤❤❤ Hi Tom and Melissa. Tom I'm with you on the failing of these cookies. I made them 45 years ago and they came out great. Since then I tried and tried. Either they became frosting, ice cream topping or crunch for a coffee cake. Yes, at times we ate it with a spoon. I gave up on this about 5 years ago. Last year I was recovering from Total hip Replacement and Broken Femur 5 weeks after the replacement. Last year I was wheel chair bound for almost 5 months. I'm now 71. This recipe showed up in my feed over the weekend. I tried the recipe with your strict instructions for 2 minutes no more no less today 12.13.23. OH MY GOSH! Perfect. I was so happy. I made 2 batches one without coconut and 1 with coconut. Then a 3rd batch with Monk Fruit and Erythritol for myself. I always used a candy thermometer. Watching the change in color was Cats Meow. Thank you so much. My kids will be so happy. They are all grown 47. 42, and soon to be 40. They know the struggle Happy Day for success in conquering this demon. Even more special my 3rd Great Granddaughter was born 2 weeks early by C-section. She is a healthy 6lbs 5oz and 19 inches bundle of joy. Kambrie Louise is #12. I've been binge watching your channel. Last year was hard for me. I'm walking better with a cane. Able to maneuver around the kitchen much better. Looking forward to trying other recipes of yours. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to both of you.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It has been an absolute delight to read your comment. We are so excited that you've had great luck with the recipe, and we are even more excited for you on the birth of your third great granddaughter! What a wonderful blessing! Miss Kambrie Louise is surely blessed to have you for a great grandmother! Thank you so much for watching our channel and we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom. I've made lots of no bake dessert recipes in the past, and they've all been a huge success with my family.

[@PenneyColey2]

Thank you so much for explaining a ‘rolling boil’ Made these and turned out perfectly! I’m 63 and walking home from school a lady in our neighborhood had a ‘Good News’ club and made these! Not only was I excited to see a bible story using a flannel board and characters, I ate these cookies for the first time! Such a great childhood memory. Now I don’t have to waste a batch before they turn out right. Love you both. Making several batches for my neighbors. Merry Christmas!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

What a nice story about the "Good News" club. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. We hope you and your neighbors enjoy the cookies. Have a nice evening and a very Merry Christmas!

[@debslinker8718]

Momma Joyce's easy country cooking was my favorite since Justin Wilson had passed. I love her recipes and I use them all the time. 2 and 3 ingredient recipes are my favorite.

[@Dodads59]

I use to make these a lot. Now I want one! I always add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans! DELISH!!!

[@NannyTam]

I was born in 1958 and my mother made these about once a week for all 5 kids. It was, frugal, quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! Thanks for the memories 🥰

[@patriciajames8300]

I’ve been making these for at least 40 years. I don’t cook mine as long and use a half cup peanut butter. I learned years ago that one of the keys to making these is to always use the same pan. The thickness of the pan makes a difference in how long to cook them. My mom could never make them turn out either and she was a great cook. Great cookies with a big glass of milk!

[@lindawest1776]

Mama Joyce’s son is carrying on her recipes, thanks Marshall! I have been eating these since I had teeth I was born in 1950!

[@Blueerer730]

Really enjoy watching you guys. So great. Love these and brings back memories of over 40 years ago. I worked with a lady, rest her soul, and she made these for me all the time! Thanks

[@Kimzeb0410]

🙋‍♀️ Tom and Melissa. These cookies look so delicious. I'm loving your twelve days of christmas cookies/candy recipes. Thank you for sharing

[@misstlc7136]

My very favorite cookie. I made it for my first recipe in the first grade. I added it my school cookbook. It was 4 pages of yellow construction paper with 3 hole punches and red yarn. I still have it over 50 years later. I love Miss Joyce. My heart broke as she fought to live in the end. Truly a wonderful lady.

[@marylee490]

Thank you so much!! I just made these and they turned out perfect, I have tried so many times making these when my children were small,and I always failed, I'm a grandmother now so I will make them when the Children & grandchildren come over for dinner this year at Christmas! I love the cooking videos you guys make especially the dressing I watched it last night will have to make that as well!! Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@trumprocks5795]

Awesome recipe! Yours is the only one I've been able to complete correctly and I like you grew up eating those. FYI to the other readers if you don't have parchment paper you can turn the shiny side down on aluminum foil and get away with that.Also, if you're in a hurry skip to 2:45

[@donnagriffin7923]

I have had the same problem as you did and I stopped making them. Now after watching you today, I’m going to give it another try. Thank you!

[@PatriciaPeeler]

The first time I made this cookie was in 1958 and have made them many times over the years …they are fast and easy and really take care of that chocolate craving….thank you for the memory…I enjoy your videos very much, thanks Tom and Melissa

[@kathyl3889]

Do you use the quick oats or regular I never made them before they look awesome

[@PatriciaPeeler]

I have always used the quick oats, some use the old fashioned but in my opinion they have an uncooked taste.. and they are good and easy ,,just boil the proper amount of time… good luck@@kathyl3889

[@lnewbury1]

I’m 66 and these look like the cookies I loved that the ladies in the school cafeteria made. So yummy! I am loving your 12 days of Christmas. I love that the recipes are easy and appear to be delish! I’ll be making some treats for my coworkers and neighbors.

[@lorettakingsolver-ko3tf]

Happy Holidays from the NW! I've been making these for almost 50 years. I usually add chopped walnuts instead of the peanut butter, but I'm going to try that method. I love your videos & the recipes you make. I grew up in Texas and miss these Southern recipes. God bless you, and Merry Christmas! 🎄 ❤

[@elainerogers9197]

I really appreciate the recipes all written out. I've tried to follow others' recipes, and I usually miss something. Again, thanks. If you have a good tea cake recipe, I would love to try it. My mother never wrote down anything she made. I have tried several recipes by others ,and they just aren't my mothers. She has been gone 25 years now. I wished I had watched her closer.

[@margiecarnell5549]

I have to tell you I did exactly from the time you started talking to the time you finish this video I had to do the same thing you did and I had to get on there and watch a lady from a cooking show do this and it turned out perfect.

[@lennieworsham5864]

I love the patience Tom has when making these cookies. I have made them before and like you made mistakes. Need to try again. Now I am a diabetic. I enjoy your channel and your presentation of the recipes

[@donnaneville192]

I have been making these since I was a teen. I use 1 cup of peanut butter and 3 cups of oats, all other amounts are the same. I always go with 1 minute of a Rolling boil. Great cookie!

[@SuziQ1207]

My exact recipe except mine has 1/2 cup peanut butter. Always good. I’m enjoying your 12 days of Christmas.

[@kerylcarlton112]

Thanks for this recipe! I have made it many times, but never knew if it was going to work. Sometimes they came out perfect, and sometimes they never set up or were a crumbly mess. My kids (now adults) were just talking about them, when they were here a few days ago. They will be so happy for me to make them again. Thanks again! I enjoy watching your videos and am happy that you are doing the 12 days of Christmas. God bless both of you.

[@judefrazier4727]

I watched Momma Joyce for a long time, all thru her illness and loved every minute I spent watching her channel. I enjoy your chanbel just as much….

[@carolynadkins1887]

I couldn’t make peanut butter fudge until I recently found Alton Brown’s recipe. Delicious

[@susiemmfh]

My mom got this recipe from her sister about 60 years ago. Just one problem: it said "bring to a boil, but do not boil." We used spoons until we figured out it needs at least a full minute to boil. They still go really fast at church potlucks.😊

[@vickydyar1856]

Enjoyed your video. My choc oatmeal cookies always come out crumbly too. I will try this recipe next. I also watched Momma Joyce. She was a sweetheart. God bless y’all.

[@tinkerdee5923]

Thank you 🙏 for this tribute to ..Sweet Momma Joyce .. I followed her on Facebook. God rest her soul. I will be giving this a try … because like you mine wasn’t always successful … have a great day !! Thank you 🙏 for sharing !!!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We are delighted to have you watching our channel. Thank you for the nice comment and we hope you have a wonderful day.

[@KWeston1123]

I agree! Sometimes hard and sugary and sometimes runny…….and once in a great while they turn out chewy, delicious!

[@yoncbwl2738]

I have always LOVED these cookies, but never tried to make them myself. Today, I took the plunge! Thank you for the great cookie training! They turned out GREAT!!!

[@suefox5162]

i just foun d mamma jocye channel and was watching videos and then found out she had passed on to heaven. i loved to listen to her cook and talk about her family . i love these cookies

[@donnamorgantiderossette3693]

These were the first thing l ever cooked! I made them all the time. That was a long time ago (I am 74 now). Over the years, with moving and life, l lost my recipe! Needless to say, l was delighted when this video popped up! Thank You Very Much!

[@barbgriffin4969]

Thank You! Thank You! I have been making these cookies for 50 years. Mine are also sometimes to dry or eat with a spoon. These turned out better than any I have ever made.

[@kellymorris9706]

Thank you so much for this recipe! My grandmother used to make these when I was little, and these taste just like I remember. I also made the icing you showed in the gingerbread cookies video and dyed them different colors for my sugar cookies. I wish I could post a picture. They were so beautiful and shiny! Thank you for sharing your recipes! They have been truly helpful.

[@charlenekirk9167]

My husband and I love watching your channel! I've tried several of your recipes. Most recently, white bean chicken chili. YUM! We're also enjoying your 12 days of Christmas. Thank you and God Bless!

[@PaulaBickford-z9j]

Made these most of my life as well as family & friends. Just a couple of differences. Never sifted dry ingredients. Always used 3 cups oats. My sister-in-law used to add a tablespoon of marshmallow fluff. So creamy. Also the rolling boil was for one minute but never strictly adhered to that. Your cookies are beautiful. Well done!😀 Oh also you can leave out the cocoa & make peanut butter cookies.

[@sherrywilliams409]

Just so you know, I had trouble with these cookies as well! It took forever for me to learn how long to boil them for the perfect cookie! The only problem! I’m the only one in my home! Not a REAL problem! They just last longer! Thanks for the recipe and the 12 days of Christmas goodies!

[@judydorman2833]

My nephew and I used to make these a real long time ago. He has passed now and I sure miss him. Thanks for sharing with us, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@craftingahomebethk3088]

I do not have enough words to express how this video touched my heart. I made these a few days ago and they brought tears to my eyes! We all have that person who hung the moon well, these tasted just like hers!! Thank You Tom and Melissa for the afternoon of memories that flooded in!!

[@tammyjustine]

I loved Momma Joyce. I still follow her son Marshall. I have never made these or had them but really always wanted to try. Thxs!

[@angievance8538]

Thank you for sharing. Yes I watched Mama Joyce. Her son is Marshall. She was awesome. I remember when they broke the news about her passing. It broke my heart. She was a sweet little lady.

[@bowed305]

Grew up eating these cookies, and I love them. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us today. You can buy these premade in stores, but they are just not the same as cooking them yourself.

[@vernabryant2894]

My mom made these in the 1960s.I loved them.

[@lindabennett3639]

My mom made these on a regular basis and they turned out every time. They are highly addictive!! I have tried on several occasions with no success but may try again after seeing your perfectly explained video. Thank you!!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We hope they turn out well for you. Tom definitely understands the frustration after he tried for a very long time to find the recipe that "worked" for him. You are so right, they are addictive! It's hard to stop with just one!

[@donnarainey6999]

❤Tom and Melissa, thank you so much for this video. I recently found your channel and I have been enjoying all your recipes and stories. I’m in West TN and this is just “good home cookin’. I love these cookies and like you I was never able to make them. Everyone kept telling me that they were the easiest blah, blah. I gave up trying as well. I wish I could show you the pix I took just now because I have 18 of the most beautiful no bake cookies you’ve ever seen! They have set up perfectly, and Melissa, from the pan remnants, they taste amazing. I followed your recipe and instructions to the letter, which is hard for me, ha , they are scrumptious looking. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is my very first time that they turned out and the first time in years that I attempted to make them. WOW!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We are so happy to read your comment. We love that you had great success with these cookies. And I'm tickled that you've licked the bowl. 😉

[@betsywashburn9106]

I have now watched this video 3 times and I will probably watch it again before I try making it. It looks so good. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@CynthiaRadford-w5w]

I also use the same recipe (minus the oatmeal) for my fudge, delicious!! I love you guys, you’re both amazing! 🥰

[@lorettataylor9902]

When I was a teenager I try to make them and they never turned out right. My sister gave me her recipe and teach me how to make them. I’ve been making them for 42 years and we love them ❤

[@TheGoodHeart1000]

I know your pain! This recipe was the bane to existence as well! I was reduced to asking friends to make them for me. And now, success!! THANK YOU!!!

[@kathyb8917]

Y’all are just wonderful! The stories of your family and food and recipes just make these recipes so much more enjoyable. Your instructions are clear and helpful hints just make me want to try these recipes more and more. Thanks for the great videos, the recipes, and inspiration.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you so much for your very encouraging comments. We are so happy to have you joining us at the table.

[@JennAveryt]

OMG!Thank you so much for sharing this! I have also struggled for years with it. Too chewy,not setting or crumbling! 1st time ever they're perfect! Even got a perfect from the hubby 😊 Thanks again!!

[@laurametheny1008]

One of our faves of all time! I used to make this for my fam when I was a kid. And later for my daughter and grandkids. So glad I caught this because I had kind of forgotten with all the stuff going on everywhere. We don't have a working furnace now so using space heaters. But I luckily have the stuff for this and pumpkin things. I'll eat it myself if no ones here lol. Grandchildren are running all over for the holidays. I can't do that anymore sadly. Thank you! I hope your holidays are lovely and safe. And warm🙏🏼🎄🍪💚❤️🤍💌

[@J3B24]

Well, Tom and Melissa, these cookies look spectacular and delicious. After I try all of these 12 days of Christmas recipes, maybe you could create a 24 day exercise program we could follow for January. I have a feeling I am going to need it. 😊 I hope you two have a great night, and I look forward to your next video.

[@ednaearp9051]

Hi Tom, I'm sure enjoying your recipes. I've made these cookies for years. Sometimes I make peanut butter no bake just by leaving out the cocoa. Merry Christmas to you Melissa!

[@kmhealed]

Thank you for your comment. I wondered if I could leave out the cocoa since I’m allergic to it.

[@margaretandjohnhall5594]

Yes you can leave out the cocoa and they will set up finer.@@kmhealed

Thank you!

I just wanted to let u know that u have really helped me out, I'm making a recipe book for my 9 year old grandson and ur recipes r easy for him to start cooking with

[@alandenniston8209]

Now you made me craving these, so while watching this video I started preparing batch for me and my wife Kathy. These are simple classics and I too have had past experiences when they would not set up. My recipe said to boil for one full minute. Merry Christmas Tom & Melissa.

[@cherylvantil6918]

Oh. My. Goodness. I'm 63 and this is my FAVORITE cookie. I have attempted to make these only four times in my life and FAILED miserably each time. Had to eat each batch with a spoon. I feel so much better hearing your introduction. I am going to try this recipe once more using your video & Mama Joyce's recipe. I'll let you know what happens. God bless.

[@janicemcgatlin4840]

These are my all-time favorite cookie! My adult children & grands love them as well. Years ago, I couldn't get them to set either, but I kept adjusting the recipe and the time. They have been turning out perfectly now for many many years. My recipe is different than yours but I'm sure yours is delicious also. My recipe uses 2 1/2 c oats, 2 tsps vanilla, and 1/2 c peanut butter. Everything else is the same. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Love your channel.❤️

[@marylovejoy1287]

Awe I loved watching mama Joyce. And you of course

[@loriisaacs6196]

My favorite cookie as a child and as an adult love them❤️❤️ My momma makes the best!! I made them for my girls and I still make them!! My husband prefers the peanut butter no bake! I love them both😀 Great video!

[@angelawalker-l8w]

These are my favorite cookies! They have so many different names. I alao love Mama Joyce❤

[@cassyharrison3592]

I adore these cookies, but when we lived in the California desert, I went without, because I could never make them without them turning dry and crumbly. Have not had any trouble with them since moving to Missouri, and that makes me very happy. 🙂

[@cindycollins2510]

Seriously I too gave up on this cookie for all the same reasons you did. I would become so frustrated. Attempted 3 times and then said nope no more. I will try these again. Loving your channel.

[@SuperGman314]

Oh wow. I remember these cookies from Elementary School! They were always a favorite of ours at lunchtime on Fridays either our fish sticks lol! ❤I’m definitely going to try these! Thanks so much for your time and efforts!! Love the education / recipes!! Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@janetmcabee4748]

You are so right, if they’re made right, they will get firm while they are still warm. So glad you learned what you were doing wrong. It’s very frustrating to go to all that time & effort & then end up with a disappointing results. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

[@jmarcos1008]

I just made these along with your video, delicious, we all love them, thank you & Mama Joyce ❤ RIP 😇

[@caronboler4048]

I am totally in love with that blue bowl. Love it love it love it.

[@janiepaul9095]

Made these many years ago when my son’s were little. They are delicious and addictive. Lost my recipe. Thank you for sharing

[@BethanyLexiWatchman]

Cast iron Skillet. Boil for Exactly 2 min. Stir the Whole Time. Works Better on a Gas Stove. Been cooking/Baking These for 25 yrs. They Can Be Such A Pain To Make. The Full Rolling Boil is A Must or They Will Not Set. That Exaclty 2 min Full Rolling Boil is Exactly How it Has To Be. Have Your Tin Foil/Wax Paper Laid out and Ready. Peanut Butter and Oats Stir Fast and Get them on The Paper/Foil. The Quick Oats Work Better. I Use Pretty Much The Exact Same Recipre That you Guys are Using Today. So Good. These are and Always Have Been My Favorite Cookies. 😊`😋`

Thank you!!! I had the same experience. I gave up making them. I’m going to try them again! I had not seen Mama Joyce’s recipe, butI thank her too!❤️

These were the first cookie I made, I never had a problem they turned out ever time. I made them for this christmas and they turned out crumbly. I will try yours and momma Joy's instructions. Happy holidays!

I make these a lot and I can't wait to eat one or two 🤗 I loved mama Joyce and still miss her. I love y'alls videos. Keep them coming!
