Add to regular bowl: 1.25 oz (5 tbsp) cocoa powder 1/8 tsp salt Stir with a fork until combined (a few seconds). Set aside. Add to medium mixing bowl: 3 oz (1 cup) coconut 10.5 oz (3 cups) oats Stir with a fork until combined (about 30 seconds). Set aside. If you don't have a thermometer, fill a drinking glass with cold water (but no ice). Set aside. Add to pot: 7 oz (1 cup) sugar 4 oz (1/2 cup) butter (chopped into about 4 pieces) 2 oz (1/4 cup) milk 2 oz (1/4 cup) sour cream Place the pot on the stove. Attach the thermometer to the pot. Set the heat to medium-high. Stir with a spatula constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil (about 4-6 minutes). If it's a wide pot, you will see small pockets of erupting bubbles when it is ready. Switch to using a whisk to stir instead of the spatula. Add to pot: cocoa mixture Stir with the whisk constantly until the temperature reaches 234° F (112° C). If you don't have a thermometer, hold the whisk above the glass of water until some of the chocolate drips from the whisk into the glass. If the chocolate forms into a ball, it's ready for the next step. If the chocolate is a swirl, it's not ready yet. Turn off the heat, but keep the pot on the stove. Switch to using the spatula to stir instead of the whisk. Add to pot: oat mixture 1/2 tsp vanilla Stir with the spatula until combined (about 1 minute). The mixture should look consistent in texture and colour throughout. Remove the pot from the heat. Using the cookie scoop, scoop the cookies onto the pastry mat. Let the cookies cool on the pastry mat for about 5-10 minutes.
