Equipment

  • Parchment Paper
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • Ice Cream Scoop

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 Cup Coconut
  • 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • ½ Cup Milk Or cream liqueur of choice - see post for details
  • ½ Cup Butter
  • ½ Cup Cocoa Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract Skip if using liqueur.

Instructions

  • Prepare 2 cookie sheets – or a counter top – with parchment or waxed paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine oats and coconut, set aside.
  • Combine sugar, milk (or liqueur), butter, cocoa powder, and salt together in a medium saucepan.
    Heat to a boil, stirring constantly.
    Allow to boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat.
    If you're not using liqueur, stir the Vanilla in to the chocolate mixture.
  • Pour hot mixture over coconut and oats, stir to coat everything evenly.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared pans or counter top, allow to cool fully – cookies will harden and “set up” as they cool. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this.
  • Store in an airtight container – these will keep a long time, assuming they go uneaten that long!
