Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk.
Step 3
Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for exactly 1 minute while stirring continuously. This step ensures proper consistency for the cookies.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Fold the quick-cooking oats into the mixture until fully coated.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Work quickly before the mixture starts to set.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Step 9
Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for a longer shelf life.
