My grandpa used to fix washing machines when my dad was a kid. Once he was fixing a lady's washing machine and she gave him one of these cookies. He loved it and asked for the recipe. They've been called "Washing Machine Cookies" ever since.Boil together for one minute:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
Remove from heat and add:
5 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup nuts
1 cup coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups oatmeal
Mix well and drop into balls on wax paper. Allow to cool. We like them best cold with a big glass of milk!
