How to Make Auntie's No Bake Cookies

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. Whisk in 1 cup milk and ½ cup light corn syrup until smooth.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and boils for exactly 1 minute. Be diligent with stirring!
  5. Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 3 cups quick-cooking oats, and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  7. Let the mixture cool in the saucepan for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper. They will hold their shape beautifully.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature. This will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. (If they last that long!)
