INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup butter (salted)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups sugar (can do all white or 1 cup white, 1 cup brown)
  • 3 cups oats (regular or quick)
  • 1/3 cup coco powder (or about 5 to 6 tablespoons)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (more or less to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Lay out parchment paper (or wax paper) on the counter or on baking sheets and set aside.

  2. In a medium sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the milk and sugar and stir frequently until it's all melted. Have a timer ready to set to 60 seconds. 

  3. When it comes to a boil (bubbles while you stir) start a timer for 1 minute. Stir and as soon as that minute is up, remove from heat. 

  4. Add the oats, coco powder, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until creamy.

  5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the cookie dough on to the prepared parchment paper. Let set and enjoy!

  6. Let the cookies rest until set up. Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

  • I like these cookies best with 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar!
  • Make sure you boil for 1 minute and not longer. If you boil too long the cookies will be dry and thats a bummer. If you don't boil long enough, they won't set up. I have found that as soon as it boil (bubbles while stirring) and I start the timer, 1 min is perfect for me. 
  • I usually use old fashioned oats. A lot of people use quick oats. I prefer the chewy texture from the old fashioned oats but use what you like best :)
