Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes, or until firm. To speed up the process, you can refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes.
Once the cookies are set, serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
