No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
(these look ugly, like little cowpies, but they are very good)
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. cocoa powder
pinch salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. quick cooking oatmeal (NOT regular or instant oatmeal)
1 c. coconut
Jelly beans- optional
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, cocoa, salt, and butter and mix well. Bring to a boil and cover saucepan for 30 seconds to allow steam to wash sugar crystals down sides of pan. Stir mixture and bring it to a boil that can't be stirred down, for 1 min. Then, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add oatmeal and coconut, and stir well. Do not use regulat or instant oatmeal. Quick cooking oatmeal is essential to the success of this recipe.
Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the oatmeal absorb some of the liquid.
Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. (You can press 2 jelly beans into the top of each cookie at this point, if you want). Cool completely.
