Uncooked Cookies

Hello, hello, hello.

If I haven't mentioned this before, my late grandmother (Grandma "D") was really into cooking and baking. She was a girl so she kind of had to be, though. Anyways, before she died, her and my aunt Mel compiled a cookbook of all of her recipes, to give to each one of her kids. Inside, are recipes using chicken, soups, salads, ect. But, mostly it's all about the sweets. She raised four boys, so I can understand.

I've been trying to very slowly work my way through the cookies and squares section. When you look at the cookbook, truthfully, it's a little overwhelming.I mostly pull out the cookbook when my dad or brother asks me to.

I was looking through it one day, and I saw a recipe for "uncooked cookies". I thought that it would be pretty easy to make, and my dad loves them. Apparently, the "uncooked cookies" are actually just chocolate macaroons.

To the point: I made the chocolate macaroons and they are apparently very good (I haven't tried them yet).

Uncooked Cookies:

You Will Need:

 2 cups of brown sugar
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of shortening
3 cups oatmeal (oats)
1 1/2 cups coconut
4 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla

#1: Bring brown sugar, milk, and shortening to a boil.
#2: Pour mixture over oats, cocoa, coconut, and vanilla. Stir well.
#3: Drop by teaspoons (balls) on waxed paper so they don't stick.
#4: Let cool until solid. Then, refrigerate.

That's your recipe of the day.
