In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture reaches a boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute while stirring to ensure the sugar fully dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, creamy peanut butter, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully blended.
Add the rolled oats into the mixture and stir well until the oats are fully coated and evenly combined.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting (around 15 minutes).
Once the cookies are firm, serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
