- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, let it cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Be careful not to overboil as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, and the all-important measure of love.
Mix until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and stir until completely coated with the chocolatey peanut butter mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or countertop.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until they set. Alternatively, place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for quicker setting.
Serve and enjoy these delightful cookies, knowing each bite is made even better with love!
