Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 0.25 cup Christmas sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to the pan. Stir until combined and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the quick oats to the saucepan, stirring until the oats are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Line a countertop or baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping into mounds. If desired, sprinkle the tops of each cookie with Christmas sprinkles while the mixture is still warm.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature until they are set, about 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
