Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for exactly 60 seconds while stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the quick oats until they are evenly coated and the mixture thickens slightly.
Line a countertop or baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for 30 minutes or until firm.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
