Ingredients
-
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, salted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 cup almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 1/2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
Preparation
-
In a large saucepan, stir together sugar, cocoa and salt. Then stir in milk.
Cut butter into 1 tbs. chunks and add it to the saucepan as well as the corn syrup. Place saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until mixture reaches a slow-rolling boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly as to avoid burning on the bottom of the pan.
Remove pan from heat. Stir in almond butter and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in oatmeal and coconut until thoroughly incorporated, and mixture begins to stiffen.
Immediately drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour to ensure cookies harden properly.
Store in an air-tight container and enjoy!
