Chocolate Coconut Haystacks


Who doesn't love this delicious treat? A nostalgic goody for me, I grew up calling them haystacks, but they are also known as macaroons. One of the simplest, no bake cookies out there, full of texture and chocolatey goodness. Here's the recipe I use:

Bring to a boil:

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
6 tbsp cocoa powder

Let boil for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Stir in:

3 cups oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Drop onto a greased cookie sheet

Yep! It's that simple. Just wait for these puppies to harden, and enjoy!
