Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet or counter by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, continue stirring for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Immediately stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and mix thoroughly until the oats are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared wax or parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
Let the cookies cool and firm up at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Once the cookies are firm, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
