Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir frequently until the butter melts completely and the mixture begins to bubble. Let it boil for about one minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  2. Add Peanut Butter and Vanilla: Immediately remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated, resulting in a glossy and creamy mixture.
  3. Mix in the Oats: Add the rolled oats directly into the chocolate-peanut butter mix. Stir well until every oat flake is evenly coated with the rich chocolate and peanut butter blend.
  4. Portion and Cool: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto wax paper or a silicone baking mat. Let the cookies cool at room temperature until set, usually about 30 minutes. For faster results, refrigerate them.

Notes

  • Use fresh cocoa powder and peanut butter for the best flavor and consistency.
  • Boil the mixture for exactly one minute to help the cookies set properly.
  • Measure oats precisely; too many oats will make the cookies dry, too few will make them too gooey.
  • Work quickly as the batter sets fast once mixed.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain chewy texture.
