Mrs. Mckenzie's Chocolate No Bake Cookies

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) or 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa, gently packed into measuring cup (not the drink mix variety)
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 cups quick oats

Recipe

• 1 in a large saucepan, mix together sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, and salt.
• 2 bring to a boil over medium high heat and after the mixture comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes (time it).
• 3 remove from heat and stir in vanilla (be careful b/c the vanilla will make the chocolate mixture splutter a bit).
• 4 quickly stir in oats and then drop by teaspoons-full onto waxed paper covered newspaper (if you don't have newspaper, waxed paper covered baking sheet is fine).
• 5 let cool before eating, if you can.
• 6 be careful not to lick the spoon before the chocolate mixture cools -- you can burn your tongue. :).
