Coconut No-Bake Cookies

I love no bake cookies so I just had to try these.  I could eat it straight out of the pan. It smells amazing while you are cooking it.  No bakes are not easy to make. You have to boil it just enough for them to actually set up. It took several attempts for me to actually get them to set up.

2 c. sugar

3/4 c. butter

2/3 c. milk

1 (3.4 oz) box instant coconut flavor pudding mix

2 1/2 c. quick cooking oats

1 c. sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 tsp. vanilla

In a large pan, mix together the sugar, butter and the milk.  Bring to a boil.  Boil 5 minutes.  Turn off the heat, add in the pudding mix, oats, coconut and vanilla.  Let stand 5 minutes. 
Drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper, allow to cool completely and enjoy!  Store in airtight container.
