1 stick butter
1/2 to 2/3 c. cocoa (to taste)
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. coconut

Melt butter; add cocoa, milk, and sugar to the butter. Cook over low heat. Add salt and increase heat just to a boil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat and add dry ingredients over. Add oatmeal until you feel you can add no more but make sure you can cover with cocoa. Mix thoroughly and quickly. Spoon cookies quickly. Should harden in 45 minutes.
