These have to be my favorite cookies ever! My mom, my sister, and I used to make these often growing up. They are very easy, do not require an oven, and are so full of chocolaty goodness…mmm. The best part for me now is that my husband won’t eat them, he doesn’t like coconut, so as long as my 4 year old doesn’t see them they are ALL mine!

Ingredients:
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 c. quick cooking oats
1 tsp vanilla
1 pkg shredded coconut, optional*

Directions:
1. Melt butter in a medium sized pot. Mix in Milk and sugar; boil one minute.
2. Remove from heat and mix in cocoa and vanilla. Add Oatmeal and as much coconut as you wish (I usually use about half a package)
3. Place spoonfuls of mixture onto waxed or parchment paper. Let them dry and set up and then enjoy!

*adding coconut will make them chewier and take less time to set up

And now that you have my favorite cookie recipe, feel free to bring some by
