This recipe goes quickly, so be sure to have everything prepped and ready to go before you start.

Add the butter to a small pan and melt it over medium heat. Once it is melted, add in the milk, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Turn the heat to low and mix continually. After it starts boiling, let it boil for 2 minutes. The sugar will dissolve, but this doesn’t take more than 2 minutes.

After the 2 minutes are up, add in the peanut butter, salt, and vanilla. Mix to combine. The batter is hot and will be easy to mix the peanut butter in.

Last in is the oats. Mix them well until they are coated. Decide what size you want your cookies to be- remember this will make 9 small cookies, or 4-5 regular-sized cookies.

Let them cool at room temperature or chill in the fridge. They will set up, but are still a gooey chocolatey cookie.
