Ingredients

1 cup Butter
2 cups Sugar
½ cup Milk
¾ cup Coconut flakes
1 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
½ cup Walnuts chopped
¾ cup Quick Oats
1 tsp Vanilla extract
½ cup Regular M&M candies
½ cup Mini M&M candies

Instructions

Prep: Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper. Set it aside.
Batter: In a medium size saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute. Be careful to only let it boil for 1 minute, or else the cookies could turn out to be dry and crumbly.
Once removed from the heat, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the pan and stir until they have all melted completely. Stir well to combine. Add in the coconut, walnuts, oats, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it is thoroughly combined.
Scoop & cool: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet. Then top with 2-3 M&M candies, using a mix of regular-sized and mini M&M's.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 hours until set. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

These no bake cookies can typically last for up to 1 week at room temperature and about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
