Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 151kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter don't use the natural kind because it's too greasy
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the oats in a big bowl to be used in a few minutes
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, milk, butter, cocoa powder, and salt until butter has melted. Bring to a boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and add vanilla extra and peanut butter. Stir until combined. Pour the chocolate/peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir until combined.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop (I use this one to make them all uniform), drop cookies onto the prepared parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until firm.
Notes
The cookies will stay fresh in an air-tight container in the fridge for about a week!
