Common Questions
Usually if a no bake cookie isn’t hardening, it means you haven’t boiled your mixture enough.
On the other hand, if your cookies are falling apart, it could mean that you boiled the mixture for too long.
Oats are a binder when used in a cookie recipe, which gives the cookies structure.

Nutrition
You recommend Quaker Instant Oats, but that product is sold in little envelopes. Are you meaning Quaker Quick Oats?
Yes. Quick cooking. Thanks!
I made these they ate very good I just wondering if anyone has figured out how many carbs in one cookie I loved eating them but tried finding a carb count and I did not see one they were easy to make and I loved the idea of no bake so I could leave the oven off just put on wax paper let cool and harden
My mom use to make those for us and now I make them for my kids. We all love them. I would use the instant oats instead of the large oats. I crave these especially around my lady comes for monthly visit. Lol
