Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet or counter by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
Step 3
Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue stirring for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 4
Immediately stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Step 6
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared wax or parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 7
Let the cookies cool and firm up at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Step 8
Once the cookies are firm, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
