Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, let it continue to boil for 1 minute without stirring to ensure the sugar completely dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until the mixture is evenly coated and combined.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to your desired cookie shape.
Let the cookies sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
