Chocolate Mud Pie cookies (unbaked cookies)
2022 update: I need to make these again this year just so I can have a better photo to share!
This is one of the oldest cookie recipes I can remember making . Because it doesn’t require the use of the oven, it was one that when I was old enough to use the stove, I was more than happy to do. They are tasty and simple and perfect for holiday sharing!
Unbaked Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cups quick oats
1 cup shredded coconut
Directions:
1-In a pot, melt sugar, butter and vanilla together.
2-Stir in milk and cocoa until well blended.
3-Add oats and coconut. Stir well. (note – when I was a kid we skipped the coconut)
4-Scoop each cookie (the size you desire) and spoon onto parchment paper, wax paper or foil. Allow to harden.
ETA: Because of the use of milk, I often refrigerate these cookies or freeze them, if they last long enough!

I am married and we live with two roommates and there are some picky eaters in my house :)! Do you think they would be just as good without the coconut? They look reeeealllly easy and delicious.

We always called these Chocolate Haystacks, and I made some with the kids last week. I remember making them every Christmas when I was a kid. They’re easy and yum-yum-yummy!

I do love this recipe. I think it’s on the to do list tomorrow. I love it more with peanutbutter.

What do you do with the milk? Drink it? It doesn’t say what to do with it.
