This is one of my favorite recipes from my childhood. I have vivid memories of looking in the cake tupperware container that my Mother hid in the pantry on top of the griddle and sneaking a few out. I'd pop one in my mouth all at once to make sure I didn't leave any crumbs on the floor :-)INGREDIENTS:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk (I use goat milk for my allergic kid)
1/2 cup shortening (preferably Crisco Butter Flavored)
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (I eliminate this for my allergic kid, but walnuts or pecans are delicious in these)
1 cup coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
- In a large pot, on medium-high, mix together sugar, milk, shortening, cocoa and salt.
- Bring to a full boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Mix remaining ingredients in with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop onto wax paper and cool.

Yum...made them a couple sundays ago when I was out of eggs!!
This is one of my kid's favorites. They call them nobes for short and are always making them but I don't think they've ever used more than 3ingredients. I'll pass your recipe on to them and hopefully I'll be able to enjoy the new and imporved version.
These are delicious!
Cheree, thanks for taking part in my cookie exchange! I can't wait to try these!
