Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and measuring tools before you start. Chop the butter into smaller pieces for easier melting.
Cooking
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients with the butter.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning as it heats up.
- Once your mixture reaches a rolling boil, allow it to cook for exactly 1 minute without stirring.
- After 1 minute, take the saucepan off the heat. Be careful as the mixture will be extremely hot.
- Stir in the creamy peanut butter while the mixture is still warm until smooth and creamy.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Finally, add the quick oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir until all oats are fully coated.
Assembly
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, spacing them properly.
- Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to solidify.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for optimal freshness. For longer storage, refrigerate them.
