  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

    Line cookie sheets with waxed paper. In medium bowl, mix oats, peanut butter, coconut, cocoa and vanilla; set aside.
  • 2

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Set a timer for 60 seconds once your mixture really starts to boil to make sure you don’t overcook or undercook your cookie mixture. If you don’t boil long enough your cookies won’t set right and if you boil them for too little they will be dry.
  • tip 2
    Use a cookie scoop to make scooping your cookies easier and faster. If you don’t have a cookie scoop available, use an ice cream scoop instead.
  • tip 3
    When storing your no-bake oatmeal cookies, wait until your cookies have completely cooled and place them in an airtight container between sheets of wax paper to keep them from sticking together.
  • tip 4
    Add a light and nutty crunch by trying crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy!
  • tip 5
