- 3 cups (270 g) quick-cooking oats
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (400 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add quick oats and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add brown sugar, cocoa powder, and milk whisking until sugar is dissolved. The mixture will boil slightly, then, promptly remove from heat. (Over-boiling will cause a dry/crumbly cookie)
Add peanut butter and vanilla and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour peanut butter mixture over the oats and fold in with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Make sure all oats are fully coated.
Use a 2-3 tablespoon cookie scoop and drop the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches between each cookie.
Let the cookies completely cool on the counter. (They will flatten out a bit as they cool.)
Store cooled cookies in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
