Mrs. Mckenzie's Chocolate No Bake Cookies image

I thought for sure this recipe would be here on Zaar but I couldn't find it. My mom got this recipe from an old family friend way back in the early 1960s. It's a family favorite that I've made so many times that I don't even need to use a recipe any more... it's memorized!

Time 20m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) or 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
1/4 cup baking cocoa, gently packed into measuring cup (not the drink mix variety)
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups quick oats

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, mix together sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat and AFTER the mixture comes to a boil, cook for 2 minutes (time it).
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (be careful b/c the vanilla will make the chocolate mixture splutter a bit).
  • Quickly stir in oats and then drop by teaspoons-full onto waxed paper covered newspaper (if you don't have newspaper, waxed paper covered baking sheet is fine).
  • Let cool before eating, if you can.
  • Be careful NOT to lick the spoon before the chocolate mixture cools -- you can burn your tongue. :).
