Santa has always been a magical man in our home. When our 3 sons would go to bed on Christmas eve, the tree would be lit, the stockings would be hung, but there were no gifts under the tree. If you believed in the Magic of Christmas, the tree would be full when morning came.
They are all adults now, but all of the gifts under the tree come from Santa. Who is going to argue with that?
When my boys asked for Yummy Cookies. I always had the ingredients in the pantry. This is an easy 'go to ' cookie recipe when you need something at the last minute.

Combine in a sauce pan and boil one minute:

4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa

3 cups quick oats
1 tsp. vanilla
Drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper and let set overnight

Julie,
I'm sure that this is the recipe that my mom use to make for my siblings and I when we were kids - many, many years ago. Unfortunately, she never wrote it down and we've been collectively trying to recreate it ever since she passed away. Comfort food. Memories. So simple. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the recipe. Putting the all the gifts out after the kids are asleep is our tradition too. In the morning, first they run to check the tree, then they would wake Mom and Dad.
Great recipe!
I love this cookie too! One of my favorites.
