I just checked my No Bake cookie recipe and yours is a lot the same. Mine does call for 1 cup of coconut or 1 cup nuts. Mine also calls for 1/2 cup water instead of milk. Did you boil the mix for a minute? That starts the hardening process. The mixture should be about the consistency of cookie dough, not hard enough to roll into balls but hard enough to make a mound on the wax paper. It takes hours to dry and you have to turn them over part way through the drying. I always use Old Fashion Oatmeal. If the humidity was up that will make then slow to dry.

After I boiled the milk, cocoa, etc. I turned off the heat and added the oatmeal, vanilla, and peanutbutter. I could spoon them aned drop them on to the wax paper but the spread and ran together. How thick should these be before they are dropped on to wax paper? Should they be thi9ck enough to form into balls that can be rolled in your hand for example? Is jmy problem perhaps that I used regular oats? I never buy quick cooking oats?
