Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (Optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  2. 2
    In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, butter, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. 3
    Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, continuing to stir constantly. This helps ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved and the cocoa is well incorporated.
  4. 4
    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. 5
    Add the quick-cooking oats to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until well combined. If desired, fold in chopped peanuts for extra crunch and texture.
  6. 6
    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. 7
    Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until set. If you're in a hurry, you can pop them in the refrigerator for a quicker cooldown.
  8. 8
    Once the cookies are fully set, it's time to indulge! Grab a cookie (or two) and savor the irresistible combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolatey goodness. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
