Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup milk
3 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick oats

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder over medium heat.
2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup salted butter, 1/2 cup milk, 3 teaspoons cocoa powder
Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute exactly, stirring constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add quick oats and mix until fully combined.
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 1/2 cups quick oats
Drop the hot mixture by the spoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.
Let cool until firm. Enjoy!

Notes

- Adding too many oats can make the cookies crumbly, so be sure to stick to the recipe.
- Regular peanut butter works best for a smooth texture and balanced flavor. Avoid natural peanut butter because it's typically runnier.
- Once you stir in the oats, portion the cookies right away before the mixture starts to set.
- If you want perfectly even-sized cookies, a small cookie scoop is your best friend.
