Ingredients:
1 ½ cups sugar
1 cup butter or stick margarine, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 2/3 cups quick cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour**
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat sugar, butter, milk and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients. **If using self- rising flour, omit baking soda and salt.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in the center. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack
Chef’s Note:
The cookies may seem a little underdone at the end of 10-12 minutes; this is perfectly fine. Don't put them in for extra time because it will dry out the cookie too much.
