Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder natural or Dutch-process
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter not natural-stir style
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt use 0.125 teaspoon if using table salt
- 2.5 cup quick-cooking oats do not use steel-cut
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir gently as the butter melts.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in the oats until evenly coated and the mixture thickens slightly, about 30 seconds.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds onto the prepared sheets. Let stand at room temperature until set, 20 to 30 minutes.
Notes
If the mixture looks dry or crumbly, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm milk. For richer chocolate flavor, increase cocoa to 0.333 cup. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
