Tuesday recipe––easy chocolate oatmeal cookies

This easy cookie recipe came to me from my mother-in-law, and it is so easy, my husband even makes them., He claims he does a better job than I do…and he’s probably right!

Quick Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup Hershey’s cocoa

1/2 cup milk (I use 2%)

1/2 stick butter

3 cups of quick oats

In a saucepan, place sugar, cocoa, and milk. Bring to a rolling boil on high heat, stirring once or twice (I use a wooden spoon). Remove from heat and drop in 1/2 stick butter, stirring until butter melts in the mixture. Stir in oats, one cup at a time. Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper and allow to harden. If the cookies are not hardened within a couple of hours, you’ve likely undercooked the mixture, but hey, that’s okay! Just eat them with a spoon!
