Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1.5 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil gently for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it is safe to handle, but still pliable.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the shaped cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Keep the cookies stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
