Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, stirring constantly. Do not stop stirring once it boils.
- Boil the mixture for exactly one minute, then immediately remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until they are completely melted and smooth into the hot mixture.
- Quickly fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until everything is evenly coated. Work fast, as the mixture will begin to set.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper laid on baking sheets.
- Allow the cookies to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- For a firmer cookie, you can place the dropped cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- If you use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats, the cookies will be chewier and take slightly longer to set.
- This recipe makes a great make ahead dessert since it stores well at room temperature.
