Not sure how people could say this mixture was dry, mine certainly wasn’t. I made a few modifications: reduced the sugar to 1.25 cups and added a tablespoon of espresso powder. This made them less sweet and the coffee made them more “adult”. Really good!

Awesome! I will pass this on to my friend who gave me the recipe, she’s in her 70’s and will be tickled pink to hear your great review 🙂

For the first time, mine were so dry. I use the same recipe every time and this is the first time it happened. Salvaged what I could but most ended up being tossed.

All sugar alternatives have less moisture than sugar so something i learnt is always add more moisture to ur baking when using something like Stevia.

I just made these in the microwave! I thought I’d try it! It was so fast! Same ingredients! I used my whisk to mix the sugar, milk, melted butter, cocoa and vanilla in my 4 quart glass bowl in the microwave! I cooked it for 2 minutes, stirred, then put it in for about 1 1/2 minutes or so. The chocolate mixture puffed up when it was ready. Just added the oats and coconut and done! That recipe, as it stands, made 4 dozen cookies! Depends how big you make them!
