Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats, and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and milk to the melted butter. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Let it boil for 1 minute, then immediately remove it from heat.
Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and mix until all the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature, about 30 minutes. For quicker setting, place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
