This is one of the first recipes I ever made. I was 12 years old, in my grandmother's kitchen and had just finished setting them out on her kitchen table when the neighbor boy and his mom rode up on snow mobiles. While his mom and my grandma were visiting, he laid under the kitchen table and kept reaching up to eat the cookies I had just baked. I was really mad, but couldn't say anything, of course. I lost the recipe and was delighted this past Winter when I asked a fellow teacher if she had the recipe. I described it to her and she did! I was thrilled. I have made them several times since then, but I'm afraid I might misplace it again, so I decided to post it here for safe keeping
Ingredients
3 cups quick oats
1 cup shredded coconut
6 Tablespoons cocoa (I tried it with Hershey cocoa and it did not appeal, so the next time I used hot chocolate mix...much more to my liking)
1/2 tsp salt
Mix well and set aside
Combine in a saucepan & boil 1 minute
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Cool and serve.
