• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper to prepare for the cookies.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.

Step 4

Let the mixture boil for exactly 90 seconds while continuing to stir to prevent it from scorching.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 6

Fold in the quick-cooking oats until evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool and harden at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. If desired, refrigerate for a faster setting time.

Step 9

Once the cookies are set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
