Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 3 cups whole oats (certified gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet or tray with waxed paper.

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • Combine coconut, oatmeal and salt together and set aside.

WET INGREDIENTS

  • In a large saucepan heat sugar, butter, milk and cocoa. Bring to a boil and let boil exactly 5 minutes.*
  • Remove from the heat and add dry ingredients and vanilla. Working quickly, stir until combined.
  • Using 2 spoons, fill one with the cookie mixture and use the other to push it off the spoon onto a baking sheet. (Use 2 soup spoons for larger cookies and 2 regular spoons for smaller cookies)
  • OPTIONAL - Immediately top cookies with candy or sprinkles so they harden right onto the cookie.
  • Allow to cool and harden before eating. Put them in the fridge to harden if you're in a hurry to eat them.

Notes

*If the mixture is overcooked on the stove they will quickly harden but will definitely be edible.

  • St. Patrick's Day - green candy sprinkles or tiny shamrocks
  • Easter - Candy Coated Chocolate Easter Eggs
  • Canada Day - red and white candy sprinkles
  • Halloween - Candy Corn
