Oat Delights

This cookie has many names, but only one great taste. This no-bake treat is great in the summer when heating up the oven is something you want to avoid. Pre measure the dry ingredients before you leave for camping and surprise the gang with a fresh made treat!

Oat Delights / Macaroons / Chocolate Coconut No-Bake Cookies

2 cups white sugar

6 Tbsp cocoa

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup shredded coconut

3 cups instant oats

1. Combine sugar, cocoa, butter and milk in a saucepan; bring to a boil.

2. Add vanilla.

3. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and oats.

4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Chill.

Tips:

* This makes a lot of cookies, have baking sheets/cookie sheets lined with waxed paper ready ahead of time to drop the heated mixture onto.

* Eat when thoroughly cooled, as the mixture is very hot.

* Store in an airtight container with layers of waxed paper in the fridge (to prevent softening).

* Soak the pot and spoon after it's empty for ease of clean-up.
