Chocolate No-Bake Cookies



Ingredients:


1/2 cup butter or margarine


1/2 cup baking cocoa


1/2 cup milk (prefer 2%)


2 cups granulated sugar


1/2 cup peanut butter


3 cups quick oats


1 cup shredded coconut



Preparation:


Stir  butter/margarine, cocoa, milk, and sugar together in a medium saucepan on stove top, over medium to medium-high heat. Bring to a bubble/boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute.



Remove from heat and slowly stir in peanut butter, followed by quick oats and coconut. Mix well. Tip: it's easier to stir in the oats and coconut a small amount at a time.


Drop by rounded tablespoons full onto trays lined with a sheet of waxed paper.


Let cool until cookies become solid.



Makes 2 to 3 dozen depending on size of cookies.


Enjoy!
