Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

A quick and easy sweet chocolate cookie with quick oats and coconut, made on the stove-top
Yield: 

2 dozen
Ingredients: 

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa (powder)
1/2 cup milk
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1/3 cup coconut (or nuts of your choice)
Instructions: 

1.
In a large stock pot, combine sugar, cocoa, and milk, whisking until
mixed. Measure oats and coconut in a bowl or large measuring cup and set
aside.

2. Add butter and salt and then heat over medium to medium-high heat,
stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. (Use
whisk to remove lumps if necessary.)

3. Continue heating and stirring until mixture boils. When mixture is
at a full boil (it will be very bubbly!) time for 4 1/2 minutes. Stir
constantly while timing.

4. Remove pan from heat and add vanilla, oats, and coconut. Quickly stir until the oats are completely covered with chocolate.

5. Drop mixture by teaspoons onto a sheet of waxed paper. Cookies will harden as they cool. Yummy!!
