My Mom used to make these for me and my brother when we were little!

These are wonderful, quick cookies. You can add more or less oats (3 cups work best for me). It is very important not to boil them for longer than a minute.
It is one of the first things I learned to 'cook when I was "grown up"
I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency.
They were great in the summer, mom would put them in the fridge, then when we got home from school they were a fantastic treat. Then in the winter time I loved to eat them when they were just setting up and were still warm.

This recipe is for 24 cookies
