Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 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
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil for exactly 1 minute, maintaining the rolling boil.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.

Notes

  • For a glossier finish, ensure you stir the peanut butter and vanilla in quickly after removing from heat.
  • These cookies are a great option for a quick pantry dessert.
  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for creamy if you prefer.
  • These are a kid-friendly treat, perfect for back-to-school snacks.
  • If you don’t have rolled oats, quick oats can be used, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • Consider these for a weeknight dessert idea when you need something sweet fast.
