Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups smooth peanut butter
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Let the mixture boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring. This ensures the cookies will set properly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture is well blended.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or countertop, spacing them slightly apart.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm. You can also place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once the cookies have fully set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
