I’ve previously posted about my kids' favourite chocolate chip cookies, now it’s time for my husband’s fave. No-Bake Haystack Cookies are mixed in one pot. Just drop this mixture by the spoonful onto a baking tray and freeze for a delicious cocoa and coconut infused cold cookie! (Try saying that three times fast)
These cookies come together in minutes. Make sure you use quick cooking oats. Plain oats will be too chewy. This recipe makes 22-24 large haystack cookies. Use parchment paper to line your cookie tray for easy, no-stick, cleanup.
No-Bake Haystack Cookies
22-24 cookies
Prep time:10 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
½ cup milk
½ cup unsalted, butter
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 ½ cups coconut
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot on medium heat, let your butter melt (watch carefully)
Add the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt. Stir until mixture starts to bubble on a low boil, now reduce heat to low.
Add quick cooking oats and coconut. Stir again. Turn off element.
With two spoons scoop up the warm mixture and drop onto a cookie tray, lined parchment paper. (The cookie mixture will cool quickly, so be efficient!)
Place your cookies in a fridge or freezer to cool for 1-2 hours. Serve. (My family keeps the cookies in the fridge until they are all devoured. These are best cold) 🥶
