Okay i made 4 dozen no bake cookies.  i made it exactly like the recipe but they came out gooey?  =(  I definitely do not have time to make more...and this is after letting them sit for 3 hours.

 needed more oatmeal, you usually have to use a bit more than the recipe, no clue how to fix them now though

If I use cheaper peanut butter, sometimes it's oilier and won't set as well and needs more oats. If it's not related to peanut butter or too few oats, I find that if I don't boil them for long enough (2 min!) before you add the peanut butter and oats, then they turn out gooey. Same thinking, though, if you boil them too long they get dry and brittle. Good luck next time!!!
