Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Rolled oats (quick-cooking or old-fashioned)
- 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, let the mixture cook without stirring for exactly 1 minute. Remove from heat immediately after 1 minute.
Quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the rolled oats and chopped mixed nuts to the saucepan. Stir vigorously until the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Let the cookies cool and set completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes. For faster results, you can refrigerate them for 15 minutes.
Once the cookies are set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately!
