I found this on and thought what a terrific recipe to make with the kids or when you don't feel like heating up the kitchen. Pearl sugar is like large granulated sugar - or very coarse sugar. A good replacement is to coarsely chop sugar cubes if you can't find this in your locale. This recipe gives two options - one using orange juice or the other using cold brewed coffee - I think both options are great choices. Ingredients:
3 cups quick oats |
1/2 cup sugar |
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder |
6 tablespoons orange juice |
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
flaked coconut (see note in description) or pearl sugar (see note in description) |
Directions:
1. Mix together the quick oats, sugar, and cocoa powder. Add up to 6 tablespoons cold orange juice (or use the cold brewed coffee) to moisten. Using your hands, rub in the butter until batter holds together in a soft mass.
2. Shape the batter into walnut-sized balls. Roll each one in coconut or pearl sugar.
3. Place cocoa balls on baking sheet and refrigerate for at least one hour (if you like firmer cookies, place in freezer).
