• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder together and whisk until the butter melts. Bring to a boil, then stop whisking and allow to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until completely combined. Add the oats and salt and mix to coat thoroughly. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.

While the chocolate oat mixture sits, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop approximately a Tablespoon of the mixture onto the lined baking sheets and repeat until all the mixture is distributed. Refrigerate the cookies for 30-60 minutes until set. Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy!
