Instructions
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or wax paper and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat melt
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
.
Add
1 ¾ cups brown sugar
and stir to combine.
Add
4 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
,
½ cup milk
and
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
and mix to combine.
Allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and add
½ cup creamy peanut butter
and stir until it melts in and is combined.
Next, add
3 cups quick cooking oats
and stir to combine with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop batter 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet about 15 cookies per sheet.
Allow the cookies to cool and set. You can also set them up in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you would like them to cool quickly.

Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
Easily double this recipe to have more on hand or to give out as gifts.
Only use quick cooking oats (not old fashioned oats). Please pay attention to the packaging as they are very easy to confuse one for the other.
Make sure that you use unsweetened cocoa powder and not dutch process.
You can quicken your set up time by placing these in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
These can be frozen, see my tips above.
