How to Make Mud Pies

  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. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 1 1/2 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately pour the mixture over 2 cups of quick-cooking oats in a large bowl.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cookies to set. For best results, keep refrigerated to prevent them from becoming too sugary.
