Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick oats
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Place over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring. This step is critical for the cookies to set properly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until fully coated and evenly mixed.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming cookie shapes.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
