Chocolate Macaroons - no bake

[danieljohn]

After my last entry on macaroons, my brother found that recipe I had been trying to track down. A couple of moves and a pair of floods has a way of destroying old family cookbooks. I'm still looking for the banana bread recipe.

• 6 tablespoons cocoa
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup coconut

Melt the first 4 ingredients, boil for two minutes. Add vanilla, then pour into oatmeal and coconut mixture.

Drop heaping tablespoons onto waxed paper, allow to sit for about one hour. Or bigger, if you dare incur the wrath of those who think these should be bite sized.
