How to Make The Best No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is completely melted.

  5. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of quick-cooking oats and 1 cup of shredded sweetened coconut. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
