Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until the oats are fully coated and evenly incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookie-like shapes.
Let the cow pies sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to firm up or refrigerate them for faster setting.
Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
