Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prepare for cookie placement.
- In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, and unsalted butter. Place the pan over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously while bringing it to a rolling boil. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Allow the mixture to boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
- Quickly add quick oats to the hot chocolate mixture, stirring rapidly to ensure all oats are evenly coated and incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for approximately 20-30 minutes until they become firm and hold their shape.
- Once completely cooled, transfer cookies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, quick-cooking oats for the best texture and consistency.
- Stir constantly during the boiling process to prevent burning and ensure smooth mixture.
- Work quickly when adding oats and dropping cookies, as the mixture sets fast.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop or measure each portion carefully.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their shape.
- Store in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their beautiful appearance.
- For extra richness, consider adding a pinch of salt or a handful of chopped nuts.
- If cookies are too soft, refrigerate briefly to help them set faster.
