Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and rolled oats. Stir until the oats are completely coated.
- Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets.
- Let the cookies cool and set completely, about 30-60 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- For firmer cookies, ensure you boil the mixture for the full minute.
- If the mixture starts to set too quickly, you can gently reheat it for a few seconds.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
