Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter use creamy, not natural-style
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cup quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat. Immediately stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until fully melted and smooth.
- Add the oats and stir until evenly coated and the mixture thickens slightly, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds onto the prepared sheets (about 2 tablespoons each).
- Let cookies cool at room temperature until set, 20 to 30 minutes. For faster setting, chill for 10 minutes.
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. For a chewier cookie, use quick oats; for heartier texture, swap half for old-fashioned oats. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish.
