Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is melted and all the ingredients are well mixed.
Allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil. Once boiling, cook for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter. Mix until the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
Add the quick oats and salt (optional) to the saucepan. Stir until everything is combined and the oats are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds to form cookies.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are set and firm.
Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
