Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and allow it to boil for 60 seconds without stirring. This step is crucial to achieve the right texture for the cookies.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Quickly fold in the quick-cooking oats, ensuring they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Work quickly before the mixture begins to set.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheets in the refrigerator.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage or enjoy immediately!
