This recipe has been updated from the “bonbon” version (the one that calls for chocolate chips); this one substitutes cocoa (with modifications to the amounts of butter and sugar) instead. So these are even more like the ones Mommy used to make!
So much yummy-ness!
Ingredients:
1 ½ cup sugar
¾ cup butter (150
grams)
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
extract
½ cup cocoa
2½ to 2¾ cups
quick cooking oats (200 grams)
Directions:
In
a saucepan over medium heat, mix together sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a
rolling boil, and boil for one minute, stirring constantly.
Remove
from heat and stir in vanilla and then cocoa, and mix until well blended; add oatmeal.
(If
the mix starts to get crumbly, stir in a teaspoon or two of hot water; the
cookies should then set up fine.)
Drop
by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. (I prefer to use dinner plates and refrigerate
the cookies so they get firm faster!)
Enjoy!
