No Bake Cookies (also called No Bakes or Haystacks)

In deep heavy saucepan combine:

½ cup milk

½ cup cocoa powder

½ cup butter

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

On high heat, stir mixture constantly with a whisk until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Turn the heat down to medium and use a wooden spoon for stirring constantly while the chocolate mixture continues to boil; scrape the sides and bottom of the saucepan constantly.

Boil for 3 ½ to 4 minutes, so that when a few drops of the chocolate mixture is dropped into ice water, the drops fall to the bottom and form a distinct soft ball.

Remove chocolate mixture from heat and stir in:

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Quickly add and stir in (coating all of the oats with chocolate:

3 cups of Old Fashioned or Quick Oats

Use cookie scoop or large tablespoon to quickly drop cookie scoops onto greased cookie sheet or parchment paper. Cookies will firm-up while cooling. ENJOY!
