Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.

Add the quick oats and dark chocolate chips to the saucepan. Mix well until the oats and chocolate chips are fully coated with the chocolate mixture.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon if desired.
Step 6
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator to set more quickly.

Step 8
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
