I ran across a variety of recipes online for haystack cookies and couldn't help but wonder if my sister, Liddy, remembers just such a cookie from her childhood in Minnesota and Michigan (before I was merely a gleam in my mother's eye, as my late father used to say). Sure enough, she did. I think these no-bake goodies really took her back.
Haystack Cookies
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups rolled or instant oats
1 cup flaked coconut
Combine sugar, milk, butter, cocoa power and salt in a medium saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Once the chocolate mixture has reached a rolling boil, cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove mixture from pan and stir in vanilla, oats and coconut. Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment or wax paper, working quickly. Allow cookies to cool completely before serving.
