Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins:

  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  1. Cook the Base Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, let it cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  2. Finish the Mixture: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the oats and shredded coconut, mixing until fully combined and coated.
  3. Form the Cookies: Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  4. Set the Cookies: Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
  • You can add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for variation.
