This no-bake chocolate macaroons recipe brings familiar ingredients together in a straightforward home-kitchen method. Read the ingredient list before starting, prepare the equipment in advance and follow the temperature and chilling guidance where relevant.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup butter
  • 1/2 Cup milk
  • 1-1/2 Cups sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 Cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 Cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Line a tray with baking parchment. Combine butter, milk, sugar and cocoa in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir until dissolved, then bring to a full bubbling boil. Boil about 1 minute while stirring; setting can vary with temperature and humidity.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, oats and coconut until coated.
  4. Drop spoonfuls onto the tray and cool completely. Refrigerate if necessary; if the mixture fails to set, the syrup stage needs adjustment in a tested batch.
