Chocolate No Bake Cookies

2 c. Sugar

½ c. Butter, cut in several smaller pieces

½ c. Cocoa

½ c. Milk

3 c. Quick One Minute Oats

Stir sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk in large saucepan. Heat over low-medium to medium heat until butter melts and sugar liquefies. Stir occasionally. When mixture is liquid and well blended, increase heat and bring to a boil. Let boil 1 minute (for soft consistency cookies which I prefer, boil longer for firmer cookies). Remove pan from heat. Stir in oats and drop by heaping spoonfuls onto wax paper. Allow to cool and set. Enjoy.

This is not an original recipe by any means. I think pretty much everybody knows how to make these, but it's a family favorite/classic for me. I remember my dad making these all the time when I was a kid. Some people put peanut butter in theirs but we prefer to omit it--to each his own.  :)
