Instructions
- Base Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, coconut, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and oatmeal, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the butter and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, beating thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and cohesive.
- Baking: Press the mixture firmly into a greased baking pan, ensuring an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes, or until set.
- Cooling: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool in the pan. Once cool, cut into squares, making it easier to spread the icing later.
- Topping Preparation: For the icing, beat together the icing sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add just enough hot water to achieve a spreading consistency, being careful not to add too much water, as this will prevent the icing from setting properly.
- Icing Application: Spread the icing evenly over the cooled cookie base. Once the icing has set, recut the squares for neatness.
- Serving: Allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan before removing them. Enjoy your delicious Iced Chocolate Crunchies with family and friends!
