Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Stir the mixture frequently until the butter melts and the ingredients are fully combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the oats, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir until fully coated.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
Once the cookies have hardened, they are ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
