Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 3 cups quick oats
- ½ cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix milk, sugar, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Boil, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add oats, coconut, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto waxed paper and let cool in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Store these cookies in a cool place (like the back of your refrigerator) if you don’t intend to eat them right away.
- It’s important to let the sugar mixture boil for a little bit because otherwise the cookies can be quite “mushy” even upon refrigeration.

Reviews
Followed recipe exactly and loved them.
Wow!!!! These are the best cookies ever!! The only change I made was I boiled the sugar mixture slightly longer, about 2 and a half minutes, as I like a solid consistency and less runny. They turned out perfectly!
Too much sugar. Very sweet
So easy! Always a favorite! I left out the coconut and added more oatmeal.
11.27.21 My husband is the chocolate fan in this house, and all I could hear when he bit into the cookie was y-u-m-m-m-m-m! Hard to believe you can get this kind of chocolate flavor with just cocoa powder. And so easy to make, as well. This one’s a keeper.
Easy to make. Quick and easy.
Added extra half cup of oats
I left out coconut
Easy & delicious!! Perfect for a chocolate snack craving!! Hubby couldn’t stop eating them!! Lol
Simple to make and oh so good!
Very easy to put together. Tasty. Just what I needed for a quick sweet fix!
No coconut, I have been making these for years. My mom made them 40+ years ago. My brothers all make them for their families. All of us love them without coconut.
