Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned oats
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir frequently until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 full minute without stirring.
3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
4. Add oats and mix until completely coated.
5. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment or wax paper and let them set at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or until firm.
Notes
Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture; quick oats may make the cookies too soft.
Let the mixture boil for a full minute—this step is key to making sure the cookies set properly.
