Quick chocolate-oatmeal drops. A classic!
Makes about 36
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flaked coconut
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
Line two baking sheets with waxed paper. In a large saucepan, stir together cocoa, sugar, milk and butter. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. (Note: boiling time is CRUCIAL...too long and they will turn out dry and crumbly. Not long enough, and they won't set up at all.) Stir in vanilla extract, coconut and oats. Combine well. Drop by tablespoonfulls onto prepared cookie sheets. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Keep refrigerated. Makes 3-4 dozen cookies.

Would make this again.
We make these every year for well, nearly every holiday. They can turn out dry and crumbly if the sugar mixture is overcooked or if it is not taken off the heat when the rest of the ingredients are mixed in. Otherwise they are dead easy and my horde will rarely settle for just a single batch being made... one for them, one for the trays... one for them cause I dared to put some on the trays... 5 stars

Would make this again.
We use to make these things ALL the time as kids. In fact, we loved it so much we rarely waited for them to be dropped on to the sheets and the actual cookie to be made! We just all gathered around the big mixing bowl with our own spoons and ate it right out of the bowl while watching tv. The memories are as good as the cookies. I have a happy. :) 5 stars
