No Bake Cookies!

These are great because you don't need anything from your refrigerator to make them, plus you don't have to bake them! Enjoy!

Oatmeal Cocoa Macaroons
aka No Bake Cookies
recipe courtesy of Allrecipes.com

1/2 cup milk (1/2 cup water, about 3 T powdered milk)
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup flaked coconut
3 cups oats
1/3 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (use the lesser amount if you like more of a milk chocolate taste)
1/2 cup Peanut Butter (optional, but recommended!)

Make milk from powdered milk and water. Combine coconut, oats, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl. Line sheet pans or counter tops with wax paper. Heat shortening, milk, sugar, and peanut butter in a saucepan until it boils. Let it boil for ONE minute. Remove from heat and add to dry ingredients. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool. Stick in fridge to speed the cooling process. Eat up!
