Step 1

Combine sugar, milk, cocoa powder and butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Once it reaches a rolling boil, set a timer for 1 minute and 30 seconds and let it continue boiling, stirring often.

Step 2

When the timer’s up, remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the remaining ingredients.

Step 3

Drop spoonfuls (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) onto wax paper or parchment paper. Cookies will firm up in 30 to 40 minutes at room temperature. Once solidified, store for up to 5 days at room temperature.
