Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups Quick oats
• 0.125 teaspoon Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk to the saucepan. Stir until the mixtures combine into a smooth, glossy consistency.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and allow it to boil for 60 seconds. Do not overcook, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and a small pinch of salt. Mix well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the quick oats until the mixture is thickened and evenly coated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until completely set.

Step 9

Once the cookies are firm, serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
