Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring frequently until the butter is completely melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Once the mixture reaches a full boil, let it boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies slightly apart.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the cookies from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
