No Bake Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening (I followed others suggestion and used 3/4 cup margarine instead)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup coconut
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions
In saucepan over medium heat, combine margarine, milk and sugar. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Continue to let boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add coconut, oats and cocoa and mix well. Drop by full teaspoons onto wax paper lined cookie sheets. Place in refrigerator to cool and set.
Amanda's Analysis: These were delicious! They were just as I remembered them growing up! They were also super easy and quick to make. They are somewhat rich, so the smaller cookie size is nice. I think it would be fun to make shaped cookies using small cookie cutters. I give these cookies 7 spoons!
John's Jibba-Jabba: Simple, easy, and delicious. These little treats took me back to a simpler time when chocolate milk on Friday was one of the highlights of my week. I do not think the cookies from school has this much coconut but I welcomed the addition. I was glad I didn't forget my 20-day lunch ticket on the day Amanda made these. They get 7 spoons!

Oooh 7 spoons. Is this the first time John? Do you have any punches left on your 20 day ticket? I didn't realize these had coconut in them. Our cookie jar is empty at the moment. Maybe I should give these a try. :-) Mom
