Chocolate Macaroons (No Bake Cookies without Peanut Butter)
Description
This Chocolate Macaroons recipe requires no baking. It combines rolled oats, shredded coconut, and unsweetened cocoa powder with a syrup made by boiling sugar, butter, and milk briefly, then adding vanilla. The hot syrup melds the dry ingredients, creating a sticky, thick batter. Dropping spoonfuls onto a tray and letting them cool hardens the cookies into chewy treats.
The result is a textured cookie from the oats and coconut, with a chocolate flavor balanced by the sweetness of the sugar syrup. The process avoids peanut butter, commonly used in similar no-bake cookies.
These cookies are straightforward to make on the stovetop and cold until firm. They can be a quick sweet treat when baking is inconvenient.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut flakes
