Uncle Mitch's favorite Chocolate Oatmeal cookies..Yum!

2 cups sugar

1/2 cups milk

1 stick margarine (don't use diet or reduced calorie)

3 Tablespoon cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 c. quick oats

1/2 cup nuts (if you like, I don't usually use)

1 c. coconut

 

Combine sugar, milk, margarine, cocoa and vanilla in saucepan.  Bring to a boil slowly, stirring constantly and boil for one minute.  Remove from heat.  Add oatmeal, coconut and nuts.  Quickly stir until thick enough to drop by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper.  Let cool to set up. 

 

*** May not set up very well if you make on a rainy day.

*** It's been a long time since I've made them, but I think I remember using another cup of oatmeal if I didn't have coconut.

These are so yummy! They are also so easy and super quick to make. Enjoy!
