Ingredients

• 100 g Butter, very soft
• 100 g Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder (about 3 tbsp)
• 120 g rolled oats
• 2 tbsp strong coffee, cold
• 1 pinch Salt
• 40 g desiccated coconut or pearl sugar, for rolling

Method

1. Beat the soft butter, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl with a wooden spoon until creamy.
2. Add the cocoa, oats, coffee and salt and mix until everything comes together into a sticky dough. If it is too soft to roll, chill it for 10 min.
3. Roll into walnut-sized balls with lightly wet hands.
4. Tip the coconut onto a plate and roll each ball until coated. Chill for 30 min to firm up, and keep them in the fridge.

Tips

• Swap the coffee for milk to make a child-friendly batch.
• Use certified gluten-free oats if you need them gluten-free.
