Step by step

Method

3 steps

1. 1

   Line a sheet or plate so the cookies can set without sticking.

2. 2

   Melt the butter (and sugar/cocoa if the mix calls for it) in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth and just bubbling, about 2–4 minutes.

3. 3

   Pull off the heat and stir in oats, coconut, nut butter, or whatever binders the mix uses until every bit is coated. Drop spoonfuls onto the sheet and let them firm up 20–30 minutes (fridge speeds it up).
