These No Bake Cookies are irresistibly chewy, chocolatey, and packed with coconut and oats. They’re quick to make with just a few pantry staples—no oven required! Perfect for busy days, kid-friendly treats, or satisfying that sweet tooth in a hurry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats and flaked coconut. Stir well.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to boil. Boil for 2 minutes, continuing to stir.
  4. Carefully pour the hot chocolate mixture over the oat and coconut mixture. Stir quickly until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture and drop onto the prepared baking sheet in mounds.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool and harden at room temperature. Once set, store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For firmer cookies, refrigerate briefly to speed up setting.
  • You can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture for extra depth of flavor.
  • Substitute coconut with chopped nuts or dried fruit if preferred.
