- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the mixture and stir until all oats are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper to form individual cookies.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
