Coconut-Almond Chocolate No-Bake Cookies image

If you like the classic chocolate no-bake cookies, these might be right up your alley. These cookies are loaded with coconut and oatmeal and held together with a mixture of fudgy, decadent chocolate and almond butter. If you prefer a stronger almond flavor, feel free to substitute almond extract in place of the vanilla extract. Yummy, chewy and rich--these cookies beg to be paired with a tall glass of ice-cold milk. Yum!

Time 20m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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!
