Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1 -Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

Step 2 -In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, the sugar, the cocoa, and the butter.

Step 3 -Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute 30 seconds. Begin timing from the moment the mixture starts to boil, and keep a close eye on it. If it boils for too long, it can ruin the texture of the cookies. Alternatively, cooking for too short a period of time can prevent the cookies from forming properly.

Step 4 -Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 5 -Stir in the oats, the peanut butter, and the vanilla.

Step 6 -Using a teaspoon, measure out and drop the dough onto the wax paper. Make sure to leave enough space in between.

Step 7 -Allow the cookies to cool until firm, about 35 minutes.

Step 8 -Serve.
