Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (sub with oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (your favorite dairy or non-dairy)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups quick oats
  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instruction

  • Add the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder and pinch of salt to a medium sauce pan and stir. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture has reached a rolling boil, boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the oats, stirring until they oats completely coated with the chocolate mixture.
  • Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, drop the cookies by heaping tablespoonfuls (about 1 1/2" tablespoons per cookie) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper. Flatten the cookies with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass and top with the mini chocolate chips if desired.
  • Let stand at room temperature until set, about 30 minutes, or chill in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Enjoy!
