Aunt Kathy's No Bake Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter

Put everything in a pot. Cook until boiling, remove from heat, and add:

1/2 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cups oats
1 cup coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla

Stir together. Form into mounds on wax paper and let cool.

My Aunt Kathy made the best no bake chocolate cookies when I was a kid. Every time I make them, I remember sitting at her kitchen table, eating cookies, and feeling loved.
