In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, butter, sugar, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute without stirring to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until everything is smooth and well combined.
Add the gluten-free rolled oats and mix until the oats are fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
