How to Make Auntie S No Bake Cookies
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Whisk in 1 cup milk and ½ cup light corn syrup until smooth.
- Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and boils for exactly 1 minute. Be diligent with stirring!
- Remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 3 cups quick-cooking oats, and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Let the mixture cool in the saucepan for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper. They will hold their shape beautifully.
- Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature. This will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. (If they last that long!)
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
