Flamingo Pink & Aqua

Or I suppose it’s Great Grandma Enright’s recipe to me…  Anyway, I have a sweet tooth & while chocolate is not my go-to food for satisfying it, occasionally I do love a chocolate cookie.  These are great & super easy to whip up.  And as long as you use gluten-free oats they are gluten-free 🙂

No-Bake Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
3 cups (quick, NOT instant) oatmeal (Bob’s Red Mill makes certified gluten-free oats)
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup nuts
2 cups sugar
5 Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk (I used coconut milk)
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan put sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and milk. Stir well. Add butter.

Boil this (full rolling boil) for 1 minute.  Stir in oatmeal, coconut and nuts.

Drop on wax paper lined cookie sheet to cool.

Yield: 24 cookies
