Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick or rolled oats
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside. Measure all ingredients before starting.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir constantly until butter is melted and mixture begins to boil.
3. Once boiling, allow it to boil for exactly 60 seconds—no more, no less. Use a timer.
4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
5. Stir in oats until fully coated and evenly combined.
6. Drop spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop or spoon.
7. Allow to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For firmer cookies, use rolled oats and let them chill in the fridge after setting.
Don’t skip the timer—boiling for exactly 60 seconds is crucial for the cookies to set properly.
You can freeze leftovers in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
