Coconut Oatmeal Balls (no bake) image

I came up with these cookies years ago when I had to improvise to make my no bake cookies , I had no chocolate but lots of coconut and marshmallows and this is what I came up with and they turned out delicious. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have for all these years.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup(s) butter
1 package(s) white chocolate chips
1 package(s) of mini marshmallows
4 cup(s) oatmeal
2 teaspoon(s) coconut or vanilla extract
2 cup(s) coconut
2/3 cup(s) cup smooth peanut butter ; optional
1/2 cup(s) finely chopped pecans or walnuts ; optional

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan add the butter , chips , and marshmallows .
  • Over med-high heat cook until all melted and mixed together.
  • Remove from the heat and add the coconut extract and the peanut butter if using and mix well .
  • Add the coconut , nuts and oatmeal. mix well until all the oatmeal is coated well.
  • Quickly form cookies into golf ball shape and size ( carefully because they will be hot ) and place on waxed paper and let cool. Sometimes I use 2 tablespoons to help form the balls into shape or I also like to flatten them out into a shape of a cookie. Note : Another fellow cook suggested to use an ice cream scoop instead of rolling them , I have never used one but I'm sure it would work great...Thanks Henrie
  • Note : you can roll them in extra coconut or powdered sugar after rolling into the ball shape and then let them cool.
