How to Make Mrs Mckenzie's Chocolate No Bake Cookies

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ⅓ cup milk, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Quickly stir in 3 cups quick-cooking oats. The mixture will thicken rapidly.
  5. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto waxed paper or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
  6. Let the cookies cool completely before serving. (Warning: They're irresistible while warm, but be cautious – they'll be extremely hot!)
  7. Enjoy! (And maybe save a spoonful for later... just don't burn your tongue!)
