This Frogs recipe is for quick, no-bake cookies made with cocoa, oatmeal and coconut. A classic from our childhood! These simple, unassuming cookies can be dressed up for any occasion by throwing a few sprinkles on them…kids and adults alike will love them. I have no idea why they are called Frogs, but they seem to have many different names. Here is the peanut-free version. The peanut butter version is here.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats

Directions

  • Line two baking sheets with waxed paper. In a large saucepan, stir together cocoa, sugar, milk and butter. Bring to a full rolling boil, and boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. (Note: boiling time is CRUCIAL… too long and they will turn out dry and crumbly. Not long enough, and they won’t set up at all.) Stir in vanilla extract, coconut and oats. Combine well. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Keep refrigerated.

★☆☆☆☆
Been making these for almost 50 years and never had a bad batch until I followed this recipe. 5 minutes way too long to boil! 2 minutes is plenty.

★★★☆☆
Two things: 1. Use old-fashioned oats, not quick-cooking oats. They're larger and will absorb more liquid. Will also give the cookies more volume. 2. Boil for *6* minutes. Start the timer right when it begins to boil.

We make these every year. One year our oven broke right before Christmas so we made these(because kids need cookies at Christmas), I thought a great name for the season would be reindeer poop and my kids loved. These cookies will always be reindeer poop to us and every year my kids still ask for them.

I make these every year by request. Never had an issue with them. If they don't set up right then it wasnt boiled long enough. This recipe has to be exactly as stated.
