Easy No-Bake Cookies: Simple Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• cooking spray

Instructions

1. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until well combined.
2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally, bringing it gradually to a boil. Once boiling, stir constantly and maintain the boil for 90 to 120 seconds; avoid over-boiling to prevent crumbly cookies. Remove from heat and pour over the oat mixture, stirring until fully combined.
3. Drop generous scoops of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly spray the back of a spoon with cooking spray, then use it to gently flatten each scoop. Reapply cooking spray as needed. Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature.
