Mom’s Best Newfoundland Snowballs (Boiled Oatmeal Cookies)
A delicious and easy no bake cookie that everyone will love! Full of chocolate flavour with a delightful chewy texture from the oatmeal and coconut. Bonus: They're also gluten free!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oatmeal not instant
- 1 scant cup medium unsweetened coconut plus 1-2 cups extra for rolling
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup carnation milk or 10% m.f. cream
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder in a large pot.
- Turn the heat to medium high and add the butter. Stir until all mixed together and free of lumps.
- Add milk and vanilla and bring to a simmer and cook until sugar is dissolved, about a minute.
- Add the coconut and oats, stirring together quickly for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Let stand in the pot until cool enough to handle. Grease your hands then roll mixture into balls, about the size of a heaping teaspoon (or to your desired size). As you work, roll the balls into coconut and place on a baking sheet to cool.
