My daughter's favorite cookies are the chocolate no bake. We have called them "Thirsty Cookies" since she was little, because she said they made her thirsty after eating thejm. I would like to give this blonde version a try. Joni
Mine didn't set up like the picture. I used 1 3/4 c sugar and they were still way to sweet. Won't be making these again :(
I made these today and they tasted wonderful but they didn't set up very well and were a little on the sweet side. I might tweak the recipe and make them again.
Well between the sugar pudding and sweetened coconut no wonder its in sweet town. I would limit to 1 cup and maybe try brown sugar? The origanal no-bakes are pretty intense too at times. Maybe try placing them in a cool area or in the freezer till firm. :)
Wander if you could just use Light brown sugar it that would help not be so sweet??
Needed a quick treat to take to my neighbors, these cookies were perfect. They set up just like the picture shows, they are sweet but still taste great. I used vanilla pudding, I didn't have instant coconut on hand. I give this recipe 'two thumbs up'! Thanks Amber :-)
I just made these...I used brown sugar instead and, by accident, only used 1 stick of butter (I thought the recipe said 3/4 stick and decided to use ”extra”, only to find out I used less!), and they turned out really well and set up perfectly! And they're delicious - a great alternative to the original.
for some reason mine came up runny, not sure what I did wrong.
I just made this recipe, using vanilla pudding mix. Way too sweet and I love my stuff sweet! I am all about coconut so I jumped on this recipe. I will make again, but I will leave out the pudding mix and increase coconut to 2 cups and oats to 2 cups plus use coconut extract instead of vanilla. Then I will drizzle melted chocolate on top or maybe even coat and have something similar to Mounds Bar.
I just made these today as well. I could not find any coconut instant pudding so I used sugar free white chocolate. They tasted yummy!! I like your idea too and may have to try that as well.
I have made lots of no bake cookies! When I first attempted them they never set up. I found that you have to use real butter and canned evaporated milk is great to use in place of the milk. Cannot wait to try these :)
I did 1 c brown sugar and 1 c Gran sugar and put a little extra oatmeal and coconut in........Delicious!!!!!!!
i cut the sugar by half, yummy!
Then it would be a whole different recipe!
I haven't tried to make these yet (but I will soon!)
Perhaps when the cookie didn't set up well, the humidity was up. High sugar foods (like fudge, divinity, pecan pie) will tend to be runnier if the outside humidity is high.
I added about 1/2 cup peanut butter to it and it cut the sweetness down and helped them to set up better. Delish!!
I only had 1/2 a box of pudding, so I used that and then also added about 1/2 cup peanut butter! Not so sweet now and set up great! Delish!
Next time I will read the reviews before I spend the time and money to make something. Very disappointed in the results...I do not want to "tweak" a recipe...I want it to work the first time!
I love sweets, but this one is way too sweet!
I made these cookies today and they taste great... a little too sweet but great nontheless. The only thing is that they didnt set like a cookie they kinda look like the picture but when i lift the cookie its still gooey... any ideas why? maybe next time i will try stick of butter and cut back on the sugar and use evaporated milk instead of regular milk... maybe that will help set better! thanks for the recipe though. :)
i want to make
Try splenda and sugar free pudding.. makes for a nice treat.. without all the guilt.
I made these tonight, and they were so gooey! They never firmed up, and were very sweet. Like someone else said, I wish I had read all the comments before making. I have them in 'cookie blobs' in the fridge now... Hoping I don't wake up to a 'cookie mush' ... No idea what else to do with them..?
I had the same issue as pretty much everyone here... I have never made no-bake cookies before and they taste great but they are a gooey mess. Very disaappointed that I followed the recipe perfectly and they didn't turn out.
I am made these tonight but used vanilla pudding because it is what I had, and and used orange extract because of the vanilla pudding and I wanted some flavor. Yummo! They set up great. I think the trick is making sure you cook it long enough. I didn't start my 2 minutes till the butter was melted completely even though I had some bubbles already. They are very sweet but next time I will make them into "bites" rather than cookies. A great alternative to the chocolate no bakes I have made my whole life, love them both! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sarah!
Thank you for stopping back by my blog to tell us your take on this recipe-what a wonderful flavor you've created! I've got to try this now.
Also, thank's for the great tip on waiting until the butter is completely melted-I think that may be a huge help to those that have had a hard time getting these cookies to set up-BRILLIANCE!
And last but not least, outstanding idea to make these as 'bites' instead of cookies.
Love all your idea's!

If substitute margarine, today's margarine has so much water added that it will not set up. Adding another 1/2 cup oatmeal usually solves it. Also some brands of peanut butter can affect the results. Like making candy, it is all about the correct proportion of liquid to sugar.
Does one type of milk work better than an another ie 1% vs 2% ? Also, will this recipe work with a soy/almond milk substitution? Thanks!

I have always used 1% milk, but I'm sure any time of milk should work.
I agree. I was Dissapointed. Way too sweet for me. And I added about 1 1/2 c. Of sugar. Next time ill have to read comments.
Ours turned our perfectly & the recipe was followed to the "T"!!
mmmmmm.... Delicious!!! Used chocolate pudding in the 2nd batch & they are great!
Thanks for the recipe! It's a KEEPER! :)
so happy to find a no bake cookie that doesn't include peanut butter
I can't imagine how sweet this would be if I would have used the full amount of sugar! I reduced the sugar to 1 cup, only used 1 stick of butter, and increased the oatmeal to 3 cups (the old fashioned kind since I never have the quick cooking on hand). It turned out absolutely delicious!!!
Thank you for the wonderful suggestion on changing up the quantities of ingredients! So helpful! I'll have to give this a try too.
I just want to eat that kind of cookies, but I have no time to cook now. But I'll try it tomorrow and I will make some for my kids.
These didn't set up for me either. Won't be trying again.
WAY TOO SWEET!!!!! Will have to adjust sugar amount. But I am a coconut fanatic. They were a bit runny so I added a tad bit more oats.
I,too, wish I would have read the reviews before I made this recipe. Mine did not set up either. So I put them in an 8 x 8 pan and put it in the refrigerator, hopefully the will set up, or we will have coconut oatmeal for breakgast
Often with no bake cookies they need to set up over night. I made a different recipe just the other day and was concerned as to eat they were not setting up so I called my mom and she told me that they needed to sit over night. Next morning they were perfect :)
loving this site......I have made choc one's just got done making banana one's now I am getting ready to make choc coconut one's....so glad I run across this page..........

I work at a school and we make the no make and add coconut to it kids love it
Just made these and they or great, I did cut down on sugar to one cup and boil for 4 minutes. Turned out great.
I have a no-bake recipe and the key seems to be how long you boil the mixture. My recipe calls for 3 and 1/2 minutes of boiling. Then I put the pan in the fridge for 15 minutes, and THEN I stir hard for a while, and spoon out the cookies ha me I can see the mixture has thickened. Try it!
Hello, I am really craving no bake cookies and these sound great but I can't eat oats. I know how important oats are in no bake cookies but would you know of anything I could use instead? Thanks
@missyDee I did some quick research on your question and I found some information that might be helpful for you.
