Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  4. Fold in the oats until fully combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or a lined baking sheet.
  6. Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the process.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for best texture; old-fashioned oats will result in a chewier cookie.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • You can add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for variation.
