Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for exactly 1 minute while stirring continuously. This step ensures proper consistency for the cookies.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Fold the quick-cooking oats into the mixture until fully coated.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Work quickly before the mixture starts to set.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for a longer shelf life.
