Part of our Swedish offering consists of this surprisingly tasty morsel of chocolate and coconut; pretty much my favorite combination. Hesitant about the uncooked oatmeal, I shrug and toss it into the bowl telling myself it's looking like a good breakfast option. (Note to self: use gluten-free oatmeal for a even more perfect option.) This cookie is super easy to make and requires no baking. A perfect summer project for the kids.
I've disguised the simplicity by placing each ball into a foil cup. Transformed into an elegant bite, I have no problem offering them on my dessert buffet....leaving plenty of the mixture in the bowl for my 'healthy' snacking!
Kosher Status: | Dairy |
Number of servings: | 36 balls |
Main Ingredient(s): | Oatmeal, Coconut - Dessicated, Cocoa |
Preparation Time: | 00:20 |
Cooking Time: | 00:00 |
Skill Level: | 1 - Easy (1 Easy - 5 Hard) |
Estimated POINT value: |
Ingredients:
- 4 cups regular or gluten-free oatmeal
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 cup butter (or margarine)
- 2 tablespoons of coffee (mix up some instant)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 x 1 oz. squares of unsweetened baking chocolate (pareve for non-dairy), melted
- about 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut for rolling the balls
Steps:
Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl, with a wooden spoon or mixer. Add the cocoa and oatmeal and mix well. Add the coffee, vanilla and melted chocolate. Stir well. I like to use my portion scoop, #40 or #50 to form walnut sized balls. Roll the balls into the coconut. Place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to serve. Of course, you can just eat them right away. |
