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
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the quick-cooking oats and salt to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or a lined baking sheet, forming cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool and set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a chewier texture, you can use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
Substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter for a nut-free version.
Ensure the mixture boils for exactly 1 minute to achieve the right consistency.
