Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
Once boiling, allow the mixture to boil for exactly 60 seconds without stirring. This is crucial for the cookies to set properly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them slightly apart to prevent them from sticking together.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature or refrigerate them for faster setting, about 30 minutes, until firm.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
