Made these a little earlier, only to realize now that it's after midnight, making it Good Friday, so I have to abstain.

Macaroons from my mom
Put 3 Cups quick oatmeal and 1 Cup coconut in a large mixing bowl

In a sauce pan put 1/2 Cup milk, 1/2 Cup butter, 2 cups sugar and 3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Then add 1 tsp. vanilla (or if you're like me and get your vanilla from Mexico--add 1-2 drops)

Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and drop by spoonfuls on parchment or wax paper.
