Equipment

  • 1 parchment lined cookie sheet or baking mat

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup Dark Style Cocoa Powder
  • ¼ cup smooth type natural peanut butter room temperature
  • 2 ¼ cups Quick 1-minute Quaker Oats

Instructions

  • In a heavy medium stainless steel saucepan, over medium-high heat, stir together the butter, milk, sugar. Stir continuously.
  • Once the boiling bubbles begin to roll, count two minutes. If you want softer cookies, only boil for one minute.
  • Remove from heat and add the pinch of salt and vanilla. Whisk. Continue to stir and do this process fairly quickly. Add in the cocoa until smooth.
  • Whisk in the room temperature peanut butter.
  • With a metal or wooden spoon, fold in the oats until completely coated and no light oats are present.
  • Scoop with a cookie scoop onto parchment lined baking sheet or baking mat. If you do not have either of these, use a Tablespoon and a lightly buttered baking sheet.

Notes

For Best Results, move quickly because the mixture hardens fast. Let rest and cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from the sheet.
