End of the Summer Slump

I have been feeling really unmotivated lately. After talking to several of my mom friends, it turns out that I am not the only one feeling this way. We all agreed that it must have something to do with the time of year...we are all in an end-of-the-summer slump.

Despite being absent from my blog, I have been cooking and today when I pulled out my grandma's cookbook to find a quick and easy 'treat' recipe, I was suddenly inspired to get back on the saddle so to speak. Somehow my grandma's recipes inspire me. Below is one of her cookie recipes that I vividly remember my mom and dad making when I was a kid. They may not be the healthiest cookies in the world, but they are DELICIOUS and super easy to make!

Unbaked Chocolate Cookie Drops

2 c. white sugar
6 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
3 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. shredded coconut

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add milk, sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Bring to a rolling boil. Remove from stove and stir in oatmeal and coconut. Drop by spoonful onto a tray covered with parchment paper. Cool in the refrigerator and enjoy!
