Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 c sugar
  • 1/2 c butter ((1 stick - salted))
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 4 Tbsp cocoa
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 c oatmeal ((use quick oats, not old fashioned or steel cut oats))

Instruction

  • Combine the butter, sugar, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high to high heat (enough to bring the syrup to a rapid boil). Stir frequently to prevent burning or boiling over!
  • Once the syrup is at a full rolling boil, stir and cook for 1 minute then remove from heat.
  • Add the vanilla and cocoa, stir until the syrup is smooth. Add the quick oats and stir until evenly coated with the syrup.
  • Drop tablespoon sized portions onto waxed paper, use the back of a spoon to make cookie shaped (rather than a no bake cookie mound) if desired. Allow to set up for one hour.
