- No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup Hershey’s Cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Quick Cooking Oats
Before you begin, have all the ingredients out and measured because this moves fast and you won’t have time to measure as you go. Also, put a long sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on the counter to scoop the cookies onto.
In a large saucepan, allow the butter to melt over low heat. While that is slowly melting, sift together the sugar and cocoa, removing any lumps that might be in it. Once the butter is melted, stir in the sugar/cocoa mixture and the milk. Turn up the heat to medium and begin stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. As soon as it comes to a full rolling boil, start your timer for two minutes exactly. As soon as the mixture has boiled for exactly 2 minutes, remove from the heat and add the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir quickly to melt the peanut butter. Immediately add the oats and stir constantly for one more minute, or just until it loses its glossy shine. Scoop spoonfuls onto the parchment paper and allow to cool and harden.

The only problem I've ever had with these cookies, is I can't stop eating them. They are addictive!
Yeah I love to make chocolate cookies
You can say that again…My son always gets me to make four batches for his Holiday Dinner at the shop…
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. ❤
So good. Thanks.
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.
Good memories though. I'm sorry for your loss.
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!
Great Tip! I'm Going To Make These ASAP! Will Be Adding Raisins. 😊
I've done that too, and added a few pecans.
00¹
Great tips!
yes I do this too.....think I even like them better....
A cookie in each hand, Melissa, is called a "balanced diet" 😁
Love that 😊
😂
My favorite cookie, I could eat the whole batch by myself. I loved watching Momma Joyce, she is missed.
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!
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!
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.
That was a great memory and wonderful story!! Ty for sharing!
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! 🎉
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.
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.
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.😊
I couldn’t make peanut butter fudge until I recently found Alton Brown’s recipe. Delicious
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
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.
I have been making this recipe since I was a teenager. I got the recipe from my neighbor the "lunchroom lady" around 1979. The only thing I do differently is instead of one stick of butter which makes the cookies runnier, I use a 1/2 stick butter and they are denser and crumblier. It's personal preference. I've made them both ways and most of my family and friends like it made with the 1/2 stick. So good. A pastime favorite for sure.
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!
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.☺️
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!
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!
LOVE WHEN MELISSA ADDS IMPUT THANKS FOR THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GREAT IDEAS
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❣️
J & L!
Man do I understand your struggle! I loved these when I was growing up and our pastors wife made the best! When my kids were younger I tried multiple times to make them and had the same problems and gave up! Over Thanksgiving my oldest son(23) said he was making them for a "Friendsgiving" and I told him good luck! Of course, his turned out perfect and he did not see what my problem was! Kind of irritating!😂
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.
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?
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.
@@jesusknowsmethisilov I just follow the recipe except for not adding the peanut butter. I have never had a problem with them
I grew up with a similar recipe,no peanut butter, but it had coconut. Never had a problem.
I'm so thankful you mentioned coconut!!
Ok, just found you!!! Thank you for
1) doing great recipes 2) being prepared before you start (the way my home ec teacher taught us to get all your utensils, bowls, and pans out)
3) being clear & concise in your recipes
4) PROVIDING the recipes, because many channels don't, and
5) last but not least, being Godly people!
I'll hunt up Mama Joyce & son, too. Too bad she passed on, but you're keeping her memory alive.
I've not made them for 70 years but I have made them for 60 plus years. They were my husbands favorite cookie. mary
Thank you for this recipe! I too, had trouble getting these to turn out/set up, so I stopped trying to make these over 50 years ago. With your recipe and added instructions, I will try to make this again! 😋
I tip my hat to you!! 👩🍳!!
I made these today. I did use dark chocolate cocoa ( we older peeps like that now😊) and I lightly roasts a few pecans to add.
Followed your directions and everything turned out beautifully!! Thank you!!!!! Everyone loved them😊
Can you leave peanut butter out?
Mama Joyce Woods. Oh how l miss her. Marshall, her son took over after she passed. What a wonderful little lady..
Mom used to make these for us kids all the time in fact was my brothers favorite. Mom used evaporated milk in these cookies.
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
Do you use the quick oats or regular I never made them before they look awesome
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
I love making these. I have found that you have to let it boil for exactly 2 minutes for them to come out good. You did a great job in explaining how to do it ❣️
I haven't made these cookies in years. They remind me of my moms fudge everybody loved her fudge. Her fudge recipe was on the Hershey's coco can. She never told anyone. Memories. Thank you
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.
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!!!
Ooohhh!! I loved Mama Joyce!!!!! She was so precious!!
We always called them Charlie Browns when my mom made them for us. But when I tried making them they were always too dry and crumbly. Now I know why, I've been cooking them to long! My mom's gone now so I couldn't ask her what I was doing wrong. Now I can make them and reminisce and think of my mom while I make them. (All I had was the ingredients written down on a scrape piece of paper but no instructions.) Thank you for giving me back the memories of my mom making them for us. Now I will pass on the recipe and love to my family. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
My sister-in-law used to make these for our kids when we would go home for holidays, etc. We never lived close, other than about 2 years along the way. They called them Charlie Browns. :) Funny how different foods get a lot of names. LOL They are so delicious. I made them, too, over the years. But, the kids are all grown, the grands are grown, and the great grands don't live close to us. But, oh the memories. :) Thanks for sharing.
My Momma makes these at Christmas time each year, but I👩🏽🍳had never made them until tonight. The household is enjoying them right now😀! Thank yal for always sharing quick and easy recipes for us.
Same story for me! Over 40 years I have failed. I just enjoy them when others make them! EXACT! SAME! STORY!
Me too!
I watched mama Joyce
I make these with crunchy peanut butter. Thank you.
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
I miss Momma Joyce so much. I first ever started watching Phyllis Stokes. Her husband "Bucky" passed away I think in 2019, then she passed in 2020. I then started watching Momma Joyce, then she passed in 2021. After a while, I started watching Mama Sue. She got cancer, and I was starting to feel like a jinx! Well, thank goodness she is doing better. In the meantime while she was down, I started watching Brenda Gantt, Amy's Louisiana Cooking, and The Hillbilly Kitchen. I like watching Christian folks cook.
They are or were very good cooks and sweet people!
I’m 65 and my Mama made these a lot when I was a child. I continue to make them for my children and grandchildren. We love them with crunchy peanut butter. So glad I found your channel. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Its so wonderful to meet someone that has had my same issue!! I have given up making them as well, but Ill try your recipe and see how it goes!!. Blessing to you and your wife!! I love your channel❤
My husband just made these yesterday from a recipe passed down from his Mom. There are many versions we've seen over the years. His family calls them Surprise cookies ( or if they're feeling feisty- Cow Pat Cookies.😂). So cool to see your video.
I have made some & left out the cocoa, just made peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Like you said there are many different versions & you could even use crunchy peanut butter too.
I remember making them, sometimes we would put them in a square pan and cut bars!! Very good!!😂
It is so funny you had the problem with this recipe. As we watched the video, my wife was saying, "Yes, I have the same problem." Our son loves these no bake cookies. My mom made these when I was a little guy, and I am a 57 baby. We will try this. Love your channel.😊
Thank you for the video... I've made so many of these cookies over the years I could never count them....I've doubled and tripled them, maybe even quadrupled them, lol.... this is one thing I can make for a crowd! :) now my kids are all gone and married and they make them for their families... we lived in Romania for 5 years when my kids were still at home and there were many things I couldn't find at the stores over there, but that was one dessert I usually had all the ingredients for, so even over there I made them often ❤️
Your story with these cookies sounds just like mine. LOL A friend of mine always made them look picture perfect and I was so aggravated.
I'm so glad you are now able to make them. I was born in 1950 and I have been both eating these since my childhood and making them as soon as I was able to cook. They can be tricky sometimes but are so worth making. We love them. Keep sharing.....I love watching you and Melissa. And I love when you tell about your flops. That way people won't be discouraged if theirs don't always come out. Flops are a part of life....the trick is to not give up. Sometimes it's so worth it to keep on trying. ❤
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.
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!
I have used my mother's recipe for these cookies for 58 years! It was more or less the same as yours. I usually add pecans or walnuts to it, or even on rare occasions, raisins! My family loved these cookies no matter how they were made, but I'm the one who made them for family get together's - we each had something we made and brought, desserts and for the main meal as well, so Mom didn't have to cook everything.
I make these every Christmas and I have often doubled or even tripled the recipe and it still works fine
Love your series the 12 days of Christmas. One of my very favorite cooking channels. Y'all are so sweet, funny and personable, such a pleasure to watch.
They're good, even if you have to eat with a spoon!
My grandmother made these for us kids when I was growing up. Thank you for the recipe. Now I can make them.
This is one of my favorite Christmas cookies, Thanks for reminding me about them. Enjoying the 12 day's of Christmas 🎄 🤶🦌🌲🎅
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.
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! 🎄 ❤
Original Recipe: 1/2 c butter, 1/2 c milk 1/2 c cocoa, 2c sugar, 1/2 c peanut butter, 3c quick oats, 1 tsp vanilla Heat butter, milk till melted, stir cocoa and sugar together and add to milk butter mix. Bring to rolling boil, boil 2 minutes stirring constantly. Turn off heat add peanut butter, vanilla, oatmeal, stir quickly, spoon onto wax paper let sit till cool. So yummy💖💖👍👍💖💖
❤
From Sharon, yes this is recipe I use.
God bless Mama Joyce! I watched her and now watch her son Marshall!
One of my favorite cookies my mom made them every Christmas
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….
Momma Joyce was such a sweet, awesome lady! I did miss seeing her and her great recipes, too! Thank you for sharing her No Bake cookies ❤️💚❣️
I made these cookies twice.. i love them. My family did not like them! I was so disappointed. Silly people!
A few videos back you were making something that required. I was thrilled to hear you say that you went through the walnuts and removed those that were too dark. I do that and my husband used to shake his head and tell me I was too picky. I do not like biting into something I worked hard to make and getting a bitter nut. Thank you for admitting this.
I love your videos.
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.
I absolutely loved watching Mama Joyce. I miss her.
Here for Christmas Day 4.. I am going to watch every day 🙏🏾🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
It's interesting you time it 2 minutes I have only boiled mine 1 minute and always turns out. I'm not a no bake fan but everyone loves mine. Using Watkins vanilla is key the only kind I use. 😊
I am 63 and I’ve been making these since I was 13 years old! I’m originally from Michigan and they don’t turn out when it’s too humid. I have lived in Las Vegas for 33 years and it’s dry here and they ALWAYS turn out! 🤣
🙋♀️ Tom and Melissa. These cookies look so delicious. I'm loving your twelve days of christmas cookies/candy recipes. Thank you for sharing
I am new to your channel and I love the way you show all the ingredients and then show simply how to make everything! You are so relaxed and that makes me feel relaxed! Thank you for sharing your talent!!
I ADORED MAMA JOYCE! And I miss her so much! Following her son, Marshall now. And now I have also added your channel to my subscriptions! I enjoy your videos so much with all the wonderful recipes and GREAT tips! My folks were both teachers and I remember that sometimes it wasn't so easy for them to make ends meet. I adore how much the handwritten recipes and the letters mean so much to you. Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing! 😄
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.
AGREE! The old boiling one minute was the nightmare! Too long, too dry or not long enough....we're talking 30 seconds! Then you had soft chocolate oatmeal. Lol
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.
I use to make these a lot. Now I want one! I always add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans! DELISH!!!
I remember watching Mama Joyce ❤
I love no-bake cookies. They served them at lunch at my elementary school and it was 40 years until l had them again.I found a recipe online a few years ago and they turned out perfectly the first time.
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.
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!
Bless mama Joyce.
Another key to these cookies is using a good brand of peanut butter. I've made these cookies for 60 years, my mother showed me how to make them. And I miss watching Mama Joyce, she was so sweet and her son Marshall really misses her
I love these cookies, they are so good. You sure make everything look so easy. I am going to try your recipe. I am really enjoying your 12 days of Christmas. I am looking forward to see what you are going to make tomorrow.
I love and miss Mama Joyce so much! What old lady!
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!!
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❤️❤️
Keep up the good work! ❤
God bless Mama Joyce I didn't know she had passed away😢 I loved her cooking videos thank you for sharing one of her wonderful recipes with us
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
I've made these all my life, love them! I used to drop them onto paper like that but eventually found it much easier to just pour into a glass casserole dish (either 8x8 or 9x13) and cut them into squares.
My exact recipe except mine has 1/2 cup peanut butter. Always good. I’m enjoying your 12 days of Christmas.
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!
I appreciate your clutter free , clean kitchen. I can totally focus on your instructions. Thank you!
Oh how I love 😢and miss momma Joyce she’s tough me a lot 2:41 ❤
I cry every time I hear Momma Joyce name. I loved her so much. I really enjoy watching you guys. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love these cookies, and so does my grandson! He requests them often, and of course, I oblige!
Love these AND the plain peanut butter ones are even better!
I loved and miss mama Joyce ❤
My favorite cookie!
Thank you for another delicious looking recipe! and thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us! ❤
❤❤❤❤ 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.
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!
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. 🙂
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.
I thought I was the only cook that could not make these cookies. My teenaged children could make them but not me. I'm going to try your recipe.
