No bake Cookies... a.k.a Gorilla poops

This is for you Jenn :)
I love that not only arethese still to this day one of my favorite cookies but Hadlie can make them too. And besides a little bit of cooking on the stovetop i don't worry about her making them at all.

1 cube butter
1/2 c. milk
6 tbls. baking cocoa (you can do anywhere from 4-6... depends on you)
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. oats (i swear i always end up using closer to 4 so they set up better but aren't dry)

Bring the first 4 ingredients to a boil in saucepan. Take off heat and add in your vanilla. Add oatmeal 1 cup at a time stirring to incorperate it real good. Drop on wax paper little bigger than a tablespoon size big. Or the size of a Gorillas poop :) Let them set up. You can put them in the fridge to set up faster. I found out my family likes them chilled :)
Variations: Substitute 1 cup of oatmeal for coconut, or add to cocoa mixture 1/2 c. peanut butter after you add in the vanilla. Stir until it melts in then add oats.
