2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup dry nonfat milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup shredded or flaked sweetened coconut
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Line baking pans with parchment paper or wax paper or non-stick baking pad.
In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, combine sugar, dry milk, water, butter, and cocoa powder; stir until melted. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the mixture does not burn. Remove from heat.
Add oats, peanut butter, coconut, and vanilla; stir until mixed.
While mixture is still warm, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets. Let sit until cool and the chocolate is hardened.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
