And a note on the oats – if you use regular oats the cookies will be hard to chew and seriously not good, I made the mistake the first time I made these years ago, I couldn’t figure out why everyone liked these awful cookies so much – turns out need to use quick oats – it made all the difference!

This is NOT a recipe you created. I have been making these for Over 40 years. I do not claim this as my recipe either. Just saying it has been around for decades.
Ashlee
nope – just sharing a recipe I used at the party – not claiming that I made it up in any way. if I didn’t share the recipe but mentioned having it at the party people would ASK for the recipe so I’m sharing it here. I assume most people have a favorite no bake chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe that they can use, but if they don’t have one, or can’t find one here is an option.

Hi Ashlee,
Just wondering, at which point do you add the coconut. It’s listed in the ingredients, but not mentioned in the method.
Thanks
Ashlee Marie
ugh! I am so sorry, you add it with the oats.
Wendy Fleming
I really appreciate this recipe! My mom used to make these cookies, I loved them. I regretted not getting the recipe from her before she passed, but then kind of forgot about them. Thank you for jogging my memory!
Ashlee Marie

Ashlee Marie
