No-bake cookie recipe?? One that once set looks and tastes like a normal cookie?

Ok, I've given up trying to find this Marguerite Patten recipe we had at our house as kids for chocolate and coconut no-bake cookies. But maybe someone has or knows of something similar. I want a no-bake cookie recipe that is chocolate. But all the ones I find are like chocolate pieces rather than cookies. All the ones I'm finding are "Chocolate and Oatmeal cookies" which don't seem to me to resemble cookies at all. They look like hard chocolate crackles.


Maybe I should just put some coccoa and coconut in a sugar cookie recipe and forget about it :(

No Bake Cookies.





2 cup sugar


1/2 cup milk


1/4 cup butter


4 tbls unsweetend cocoa





bring to boil- remove from heat-


add


3 cups quick oats


1/2 tsp vanilla


2/3 cup peanut butter





mix and drop on to foil or wax paper





they are really good we have had this recipe written in a recipe book since i was a little little girl. :)





I have had them before where someone has changed the oatmeal to coconut but i am not sure if it will work the same with this recipe and I don't think that those are good





these are also good make with chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
Reply:I never knew you could have no bake cookies, is that kind of like rice crispy treats? If So, maybe get a big bowl of Rice Krispies cereal, add little bit of milk, throw in sugar and anything else that you want to get stuck in the goo. Mix together for a while until it gets stiff, and your done (I just made it all up from a TV commercial I saw)
Reply:These are always a hit. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for but they're delish.





1 cup semisweet chocolate chips


1/3 cup butter


16 large marshmallows


1/3 cup creamy peanut butter


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 cup flaked coconut


2 cups rolled oats





Melt chocolate chips, butter, and marshmallows over low heat. Stir until smooth, and remove from heat. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, coconut, and oats. Mix thoroughly. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto waxed paper. (I like to add another step here and flatten them and just put one or two peanut butter chips in the middle) Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until set.





Hope these work for you!
Reply:I made some no bake chocolate/oatmeal cookies last year and they were a hit. I will make them again this year. They were not hard.
