Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  • In a large heavy pot, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.  Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble, then set a timer and boil for 60 seconds (no more!).  
  • Immediately remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, oats, vanilla, and salt until combined.
  • Working quickly, drop about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate peanut butter oats mixture at a time onto the prepared cookie sheet, pressing gently on the tops of each cookie to flatten slightly.  
  • Let the cookies sit at room temperature until cool and firm.  Store in an airtight container.
