So good and easy to make! My siblings and I made huge batches of these cookies Sunday afternoons, and they were usually gone by Tuesday! The time for boiling the mixture is listed at 5 minutes, but if you cook it a little less, the cookies are chewier.

Time 15m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
1 dash salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, cocoa (I tend to go a little heavy on the cocoa) and salt.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
  • When it has reached a rolling boil, cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove pan from heat and mix in vanilla, oats and coconut.
  • Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
  • Work quickly!
  • Let cool.
  • Alternate/optional additions, add any one with coconut: 1/2-3/4 cup mini marshmallows or 1/2 cup walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have any chow mein noodles, you can use crispy rice cereal instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the butter and sugar mixture, or it will turn into toffee.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them, or they will be too soft and crumbly.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
