Notes:

 When you first start spooning the cookies out, it will seem like they aren't going to harden, but by the time you
finish, the first ones are about ready to eat.

 If you don't like chocolate, you can leave out the cocoa for some tasty peanut butter no‐bake cookies. Everything
else stays the same.

 Various versions of this recipe were submitted by several people. Mary E. Davison notes that 1 can of angel flake
coconut or chopped nuts may be added as desired.
