Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa. Heat over medium, stirring, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil exactly 1 minute without stirring.
  2. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth, then stir in oats until well coated.
  3. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool until set, about 30 minutes.

Notes

Work quickly when scooping; the mixture thickens as it cools. If your cookies are still sticky after 30 minutes, place the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes.
