Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, milk, unsalted butter, and cocoa powder.
Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Once boiling, continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to ensure everything is well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the mixture and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly if desired.
Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until they are set and firm.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage. These goodies can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
