(ie.. no bake cookies)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
3 cups quick rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
Mix sugar, butter, cocoa and milk in saucepan. Bring to boil quickly. Reduce heat to medium and boil 3-4 minutes, or until a little dropped into cold water forms a soft ball (234 degrees). Remove from heat. Stir in rolled oats, nuts and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper; let stand until hardened. Store in refrigerator, if desired. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
