Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe

Browned Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe

I have been making no bake cookies since I was a kid. They were one of the first recipes that I learned to make and I have made them many times over the years.
No bake cookies make a perfect summertime cookie. Kids love them and they do not require that you heat the oven. These are both things I look for in a summertime dessert.


Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup(s) sugar.
1/4 cup(s) Hershey's Cocoa  
3 cup(s) quick cooking rolled oats
1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup(s) regular butter
1/2 cup(s) fat free milk

Directions: 

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Mix oats and coconut in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Stir sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over the oats and coconut and quickly mix to coat. Drop by tablespoon onto prepared baking sheet; let cookies cool and harden. Store in an airtight container..


We took a Sunday drive (a habit, it would seem as of late) to the Angeles National Forest and needed a quick treat  and these were perfect. Except it did make me a little woosey (ALOT woosey). All those switchbacks, the sugar, the headache, the children...oy. I can barely talk about it, let alone type it.
