Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Quick-cooking oats

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring frequently until the butter is completely melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Step 4

Once the mixture reaches a full boil, let it boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies slightly apart.

Step 8

Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.

Step 9

Carefully remove the cookies from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
