Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Peanut butter
- 1.5 cups Quick oats

Instructions
Add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir well to combine.
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid boiling over. The mixture should be fully melted and bubbling slightly.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet or flat surface with parchment paper or wax paper.
Scoop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the lined surface, shaping them into small mounds or rounds.
Let the cookies rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
