Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and allow it to boil for exactly 1 minute. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and mix until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture begins to slightly thicken.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Carefully peel the cookies off the parchment paper and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
