Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 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 oats
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir the mixture constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring. Remove from heat immediately after 1 minute.
Step 5
Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
Step 6
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and gently stir until the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Step 7
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Each scoop should resemble a 'lump' or 'poop' shape for the theme.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Step 9
Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately for a festive snack.
