Ingredients
  

For the cookies
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk Whole milk gives the richest result; dairy-free milks can work.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Sift if lumpy.
  • 1/2 cup butter Substitute coconut oil for dairy-free.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Smooth or chunky — smooth blends easiest.
  • 3 cups quick oats See notes about old-fashioned oats below.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. Combine the sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk to dissolve lumps of cocoa before heating.
  3. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a rolling boil, continue cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Remove the pan from heat. Immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Add the quick oats and fold until every oat flake is coated and the batter holds together.
  6. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop mounds onto the prepared sheet.
  7. Let cookies cool at room temperature until set, about 10–30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for faster setting.
