I toasted the rolled oats called for in Ms. Fields's recipe, just to get a little more texture out of them. Make sure the mixture is hot when you drop the cookies or the texture will be too crumbly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread rolled oats on a baking sheet and toast for 20 to 30 minutes, until slightly darker and toasty smelling. Remove from heat.
- Line baking sheets or your work surface with parchment or wax paper. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cocoa powder, evaporated milk and salt and bring to a boil, stirring. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, oats and coconut.
- Immediately drop the warm mixture by scant tablespoons onto parchment or wax paper. Allow to cool and store in a tin.
