Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir well to combine.
Microwave for an additional 1 minute, or until the mixture is bubbly. Be careful when removing from the microwave as it will be very hot.
Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Add the quick oats to the bowl and stir until fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper. Flatten slightly if desired.
Let the cookies sit at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes to firm up, or speed up the process by chilling them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.
Once firm, the cookies are ready to enjoy!
