Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir the mixture together to combine all ingredients evenly before heating.
  2. Boil Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and quick cooking oats until all are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is thick and well combined.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets or a flat surface. Shape them slightly if desired.
  5. Set Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they firm up and hold their shape.

Notes

  • For best results, use quick cooking oats as they bind the cookies better than old-fashioned oats.
  • If the mixture is too runny, add a little more oats to help it set.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • These cookies are perfect for a quick dessert or snack without the heat of baking.
