No Bake Cookies

This recipe is based on a recipe that my husband had before we got married. I have seen variations of it other places since I started making these cookies.  These are my daughter's favorite cookie of all time, and she knows I usually make them around Christmas.

No Bake Cookies
yield: 3-4 dozen, depending on size



2 c. white sugar
8 T. butter
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1/2 c. almond butter
1 t. vanilla
pinch of salt
3 c. quick oats
1/4 to 1 c. chopped almonds (optional)
1/2 to 1 c. coconut (optional)

In large saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder.  Heat, stirring frequently, until mixture boils. Allow to boil for 1 or 2 minutes, then remove from heat and cool for 1 minute.  Stir in almond butter, vanilla and salt; mix well. Add oatmeal, nuts, and coconut, combining thoroughly.

Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper, and let cool until mixture hardens.
