📝 Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup whole milk
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
3 cups quick-cooking oats

Pinch of salt (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine:
-
1/2 cup butter
-
2 cups sugar
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/4 cup cocoa powder
-
-
Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, cook for 60 seconds exactly. (Use a timer — this step is key to getting the texture right!)
-
Remove from heat and quickly stir in:
-
1/2 cup peanut butter
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt (optional)
-
-
Stir until smooth, then mix in:
-
3 cups quick oats
-
-
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting.
🍪 Tips:
-
Use quick oats, not old-fashioned, for best texture.
-
If they turn out too soft, boil the mixture a few seconds longer next time.
-
If they turn out dry/crumbly, boil slightly less or reduce the oats a bit.
