Dream Cookies

These are some of my son, Mark's, favorite cookies. When he was a little boy, he always liked these. I think he still does.

1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 lb. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Boil all together in large saucepan. Let come to a full rolling boil. Pour the boiling mixture over 3 cups uncooked oats, mix thoroughly. Add 1 cup coconut and 1/2 cup nuts. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper.
