2 Cups sugar
1 Stick butter
3 Cups rolled oats
1 Cup coconut
1/2 Cup milk
1/2 Cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add oats and coconut to a large bowl.  Stir to combine. On the stove bring sugar, milk, cocoa and butter to a roaring boil.  (Stir constantly to avoid burning!)  Pour boiling mixture over oats and coconut.  Add vanilla.  Stir well.  Drop rounded tablespoon sized globs of the mixture onto wax paper.  The cookies will harden as they dry.
