Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 5 Tbsp cocoa
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cocoa, milk, butter and salt. Heat to low boil, stirring often. When a low boil is reached, cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove pan from heat and quickly mix in vanilla, oats and coconut until incorporated.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheet (you will need to press a bit to hold each mound together). Let cool until set, about 5 minutes.
Notes
If you don't like coconut, you can substitute 1/2 cup butter + 1/2 cup nut butter. Stead of Haystacks, you now have No-Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal cookies!
