Fiddle Diddles

Description: No-bake cookie. Chocolate and oats. Nuts optional. *I haven't tried these with the coconut and walnuts, it is excellent without! Also try half cocoa half peanut butter. I made some with 2/3 cocoa and 1/3 peanut butter and they were so good.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup hard margarine
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 6 tablespoons cocoa
• 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cup medium coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

1. Put the butter or margarine, sugar and milk into the saucepan. Heat on medium, stirring often, until it comes to a boil. Remove pan from heat.
2. Add all remaining ingredients. Stir well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the waxed paper. Cool completely.
3. Store in a container with a lid and waxed paper between the layers. Makes about 40 cookies.
