you children :)
2 C. sugar
1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. baking cocoa
1/2 C. milk
3 C. quick oats
1/2 C. nuts (optional)
1 TB vanilla
Mix sugar, butter, baking cocoa, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil quickly. Reduce heat to medium and boil 3-4 minutes or until a little drop in cold water forms a soft ball (234 degrees). Remove from heat and stir in oats, nuts, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoons on wax paper. Let stand until hardened. Store in the refrigerator if desired. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
These are really yummy. Mommy remembers making and eating these as a child. Auntie Shea lived on these when she was pregnant with one of your cousins. I can't remember which one! I feel like going into the kitchen and making some of these right now! :)
Love Always,
Mommy
