In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk.
Stir frequently as the mixture heats up, bringing it to a rolling boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, set a timer and allow it to boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until all the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
