Time 45m

Yield 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups coconut
5 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Remove from heat.
  • Fold in rolled oats, 1 cup coconut, cocoa and vanilla.
  • Chill mixture for about 1/2-1 hour. Form into balls and roll into remaining coconut.
  • Some tips for getting the texture of these correct:.
  • -- Be precise with your measurements.
  • -- Boil for no more than 5 minutes and time it from point it starts to boil.

Provided by Kathleen Drury

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 c butter, room temperature
2/3 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 c cocoa
2 c pecans, chopped
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, stir. Add flour, salt, cocoa, and nuts, mix well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a mixture of both.
  • If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 1 hour before rolling it into balls. This will help the cookies hold their shape when baking.
  • If you don't have time to chill the dough, you can roll it into balls and freeze them for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • You can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings of your choice.
