Peanut-free! These no-bake chocolate macaroons are also known as ‘Frogs and Haystacks.’ My mother has been making these since before I was born; she passed this down to me. There are many no-bake cookies out there, but I like these best. Store in an airtight container in a cool spot. These can be frozen.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup flaked coconut
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line a work surface with waxed paper.
Step 2
Stir oats, cocoa powder, and coconut together in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk sugar, milk, and butter together in a nonstick pot; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir vanilla extract into butter mixture.
Step 4
Stir oat mixture into butter mixture until well-combined. Drop mixture by the spoonful onto waxed paper and let sit until set, at least 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Lay out your waxed paper beforehand; these cookies come together very quickly! You will want to get them portioned out fast before they set-up. I use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, and it goes quickly.
