No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

This is one of the first recipes I learned how to make

way back when I was in Junior High School

and taking a Home Economics class.

The recipe was handed out to us on a sheet of

yellow colored paper that I still have

and pull out every summer to make these cookies.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

6 Tbsp cocoa

1/2 cup finely shredded coconut

3 cups oatmeal

Combine the first four ingredients together in a pot

and bring to a boil.

Boil 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove the pot from the stove

and add the coconut and oatmeal.

Stir to combine.

Place spoonfuls on waxed lined cookie sheets, working quickly.

Let cool and enjoy.

I usually store these in the refrigerator.
