Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick oats
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, milk, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil.
Once it reaches a full boil, let the mixture boil for 1 minute without stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves properly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir well until the oats are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm. You can also refrigerate them for faster setting.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
