Chocolate Drop Cookies

[Calie]

My grandmother use to make these all the time when I was a kid. Later she gave me the recipe to make for my kids, who love them as much as I do, so do their friends and I could never get them made fast enough, even double and quad druple batches would disappear fast...lol

No Bake Chocolate Drop Cookies

Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
3 cup rolled oats
1 cup coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put margarine, milk, sugar and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Add rolled oats and coconut. Mix well. Drop into waxed paper by tablespoonfuls quickly before cookies set.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops
Reduce sugar to 1 3/4 cup. Boil for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter before the rolled oats. Omit coconut.
NOTE:
If these are overcooked, the cookies will be dry and crumbly. Reduce cooking time if necessary.
