Chocolate Boiled Cookies

I was flipping through my green folder of recipes the other day and remembered my first failed attempt (they were way too soupy) at these childhood favorite of mine. So I gathered the ingredients and bought a new candy thermometer to give it a second go to try and master the art of Chocolate Boiled Cookies.

Ingredients: 2 Cups Sugar

1/2 Cup Butter

1/2 Cup Cocoa

1/2 Cup Milk

2 1/2 Cups Quick Cooking Oats

1 tsp. Vanilla

In a large pan, melt the Butter

Then add the Milk

Sugar

And Cocoa mixing thoroughly

Bring to a rapid boil then reduce the heat

Continue boiling for 3-4 minutes, or until softball stage (234F)

Remove from the heat and stir in the Oats

Then Vanilla, mix well

Drop the Batter by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let stand until hardened

Super sweet and Chocolaty, these Cookies have always been a favorite of mine. The only problem I have when making them is that they set pretty quickly so be fast when spooning them out or the final ones will be a little dry and wont spread as much. Also store them in a airtight container or they don't taste nearly as good the next day.
