Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter
- 1⅔ cups sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups quick-cook oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your space: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- Cook the base: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Boil: Once boiling, stop stirring and let it boil for 1 minute. (This step helps the cookies set properly.)
- Remove from heat: Take the saucepan off the heat and immediately stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add oats: Stir in the quick-cook oats until evenly coated.
- Form cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Set: Let the cookies cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
Notes
- Boil the mixture precisely for one minute for the perfect consistency.
- Adjust cooling time based on the ambient temperature if necessary.
