Crites Family Stuff

Description

This is the easy cookie recipe my children started their cooking debut with. It is an easy, almost instant cookie recipe. Even the boys could handle it.

Ingredients for 24 servings

• 2 cups sugar
• .5 cup milk
• .5 cup shortening
• 3 tbsp cocoa
• .5 tsp salt
• 3 cups quick oatmeal
• 1 tsp vanilla
• .5 cup chopped nuts
• 1 cup coconut

Steps

1. Combine sugar, milk, shortening, cocoa and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the quick oatmeal, vanilla, chopped nuts, and coconut. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper.
2. Annie Crites makes these but uses margarine instead of shortening and add 1/2 cup peanut butter, as well.
