1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
1-1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 cups quick-cooking oats
powdered sugar

Cream butter with water and vanilla. Add sugar, cocoa, and oatmeal, mix well. Roll into 1-inch balls. Add more water if necessary to make the dough stick together. Divide the balls in half.

My mother found this in a kids cookbook in the 50's. We have always made them for Christmas. Without the nuts or coconut though. My kids and I love these cookies, but no one we know has ever heard of them.
