VERY glad you also put a Photo of the cookies as well!
My Mom had this recipe from someone she worked with and me and her during the Holidays made them, but I havent for years.
There was a little Bakery across the street where I worked a long time ago, and they had in a case “Missouri Mud Cookies”!
Thats when I learned to actual name for them . . . and thats what they look like
I just shared the Recipe with 2 Ladies at a Bakery in “Old Town” Monrovia Ca. who will feature them soon!
Can’t wait!

My cookies are sitting on the counter cooling.

I am sitting at the computer doing the dishes! You see, my waxed paper was small, and the left-overs have to go somewhere…

Oh, my word! I used crunchy peanut butter, so there are teeny bits of peanut in each bite. I am diabetic, and THESE are what God made Insulin for! (I only used 1.5 C. sugar, but I will have to try this with Splenda.)

Thank you for sharing this recipe! You are my new best friend! LOL

Thank you for posting this! I was looking for a no eggless quick dessert to make (for fun and practice) I will be adding to my site soon.

xo – I use Quaker Oats for these, but yes using the traditional oats instead of the quick oats will definitely alter the texture. I also think you could probably substitute a cereal like corn flakes or rice krispy treats for the oats. Would love to hear about your version!

Also, would it be possible to substitue the oats for corn flakes or frosted flakes?
Or maybe some sort of cereal?

Hi, I made these yesterday and they were delicious, but way too chewy!
I think I used regular oats. They kind of taste heavy, the mixture is so good though .but I also found it to be a tad too sweet.

Guess I’d have to use different oats next time. Will quaker oats do?
thank you for the recipe, it’s yummy!

I just made these today with soy butter because of a child with a peanut allergy. They were awesome! I don’t know that anyone would be able to tell the difference. They were so good!

Yum! I made this recipe for the 2nd time in a week today. Both times I used soy butter instead of peanut butter and today I used turbinado sugar instead of white granulated sugar b/c I was out. I like to put a tray in the freezer to set up superfast so we can eat them faster!

A tasty alternative is to forgo the cocoa and use White Chocolate Wonderland peanut butter (it’s peanut butter with white chocolate added to it), or if Dark chocolate is your thing then they have Dark Chocolate Dreams, too.

This recipe is close to one I make. Mine has coconut and no peanut butter. We call them “Specials” and we grew up making them. Definitely a family favorite.

Hi Micheal,

I have never used Splenda to bake with, so I can’t endorse or reject it, but if you try it in this recipe please stop back and let us know how it turns out!

Hi Paige,

They just need to be in the fridge until they firm up, probably about a 1/2 hour. Just check them to make sure they’re set.

Enjoy!

I am 52 years-old and will never forget making these with my mom when I was a little kid! They are the first thing I ever cooked by myself! I still love them!

I used your recipe tonight to make cookies. I don’t know if any of your readers are diabetic, or sensitive to sugar, but there is a product that tastes like sugar called Whey Low. I use it, its low carb, calorie and low on the glycemic index. Thanks for your recipe. My cookies turned out wonderful and I can enjoy an oldie but goodie without getting sick. Thanks again!

Hi Cyndi,

I think running some regular oats through the food processor would be just fine. I think the recipe calls for quick oats since the cookies are not baked and the traditional oats are a bit larger than quick, which would make the texture a little more difficult to chew easily. Enjoy the cookies!

Hi Hiratana,

Mine took about an hour to set completely, but it will vary depending on the temperature and humidity in your house. You can definitely pop them in the fridge to speed up the process; no harm!

Enjoy the cookies!
