Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 21
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (1 cube) butter or margarine
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ¼ cup baking cocoa
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 4 cups oatmeal (I use quick)
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add sugar, cocoa, and milk and mix well. When mixture comes to a rolling boil, time for 1 minute and stir constantly.
  2. Remove from heat after one minute and stir in vanilla. Stir in oatmeal until well coated.
  3. Immediately drop cookies by the spoonful onto a sheet of tin foil. Depending on the size of the cookies, you should get 18-24 cookies from a batch. Allow to cool for a few minutes They will get harder the longer they sit. If they stay too soft, then increase your cooking time to 1½ minutes next time.
  4. Craving chocolate and peanut butter? Try adding a big spoonful of peanut butter when you stir in the vanilla. Stir until peanut butter is melted into chocolate mixture, then add the oatmeal.
