How to Make Mississippi Mud Cookies

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and boils for exactly 2 minutes.

  3. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto wax paper-lined baking sheets. Allow to cool completely before serving. Enjoy the gooey goodness!
