Instructions

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Gather and measure all ingredients beforehand. This is important as the cooking process goes quickly.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, cocoa powder, and salt.
Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until the butter is melted.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, setting a timer to avoid overcooking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract, followed by the oats.
Scoop cookies onto the prepared sheet pan using a #40 size cookie scoop.
Allow cookies to cool completely; refrigerate to speed up cooling if desired before transferring them to an airtight container.

Notes

Make sure to not overcook the mixture during the boiling step for best results.
Using quick cooking oats is essential for the right texture in these cookies.
Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
