Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
- ½ cup (128 grams) creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Oats:
- 3 cups quick oats
Instructions
- Arrange workspace by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper, creating a clean surface for cookie formation.
- Combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan, heating over medium flame until the mixture reaches a vigorous boil, stirring intermittently to prevent scorching.
- Allow the bubbling mixture to simmer for one minute, ensuring thorough integration of ingredients and developing a rich, cohesive texture.
- Remove pan from heat source and incorporate peanut butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, stirring until the peanut butter completely dissolves and creates a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Introduce rolled oats to the liquid mixture, gently folding until each oat strand becomes thoroughly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter base.
- Utilize a spoon or cookie scoop to deposit uniform dollops of the mixture onto prepared baking sheets, maintaining consistent size for even cooling and setting.
- Allow cookies to rest at ambient temperature, permitting them to solidify and develop their characteristic firm yet slightly chewy texture, typically requiring 20-30 minutes of undisturbed cooling time.
