In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
Once boiling, let the mixture boil for 1 minute without stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and mix well until all the oats are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing each into cookie shapes if desired.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, enjoy immediately or store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
