Keyword:

Ingredients
2
cups
sugar
1/2
cup
butter
not margarine
1/2
cup
milk
2% milkfat or higher
3
Tbsp
cocoa
Mom’s recipe has the note, “I must admit I heap my tablespoons of cocoa”.
3
Tbsp
peanut butter, creamy
3
cups
quick oats
1
tsp
vanilla extract
1/2
cup
shredded coconut
Instructions
Place wax or parchment paper onto a couple cookie sheets.
Mix the sugar, butter, milk and cocoa in a 6-quart pot and bring to a full rolling boil.
Remove from the heat and drop in the peanut butter.
Let stand about 2 minutes.
Mix in the oats, vanilla and, if desired, the shredded coconut.
Drop the mixture onto the paper on the cookie sheets by teaspoons or tablespoons. (Mom used tablespoons to create bigger cookies).
Let the cookies stand until firm. It’s best to refrigerate them, until serving with a big glass of ice-cold milk.
