2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups quick cooking oats (uncooked)
1/2 cup cocoa (unsweetened)
1 cup chopped nuts, raisins or flaked coconut

In a mixing bowl, combine oats and cocoa; mix well.

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk and butter. Heat until mixture boils and boil for 1 full minute (no more).

Pour hot mixture over oats in bowl. Stir in 1 generous cup of chopped nuts, raisins or coconut (or any combination of nuts, raisins and coconut!). Mix well.

Drop by tablespoons onto wax or parchment paper or a baker's silicone sheet. Let sit in a cool dry place until the cookies set.

These cookies need no baking. Don't make these on a rainy day!

Makes about 5 to 6 dozen cookies, depending upon size.
