Fudge Cookies

OH . MY . GRACIOUS . Are these ever good. But honestly, fudge cookies! What is there not to like! My 4 year old said they taste like fudge AND chocolate. What more is there to say. I got this recipe from The Worldwide Ward Cookbook, you can get it at Deseret Book. I did make a few changes to the recipe however, so here is my version.

Fudge Cookies

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups quick oates

1 cup coconut

1/2 t vanilla

dash of salt

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, brown sugar, butter and milk. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add oates, coconut, chocolate chip and salt. Beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer on medium, until thick but still shiny. Add the vanilla once the chocolate is melted. Drop by teaspoonful onto wax paper and let cool until firm.
