Instructions

Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Measure out all ingredients as this process moves quickly once started.
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, cocoa powder, and salt.
Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring until the butter melts.
Increase heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, setting a timer to avoid overcooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, followed by the oats.
Scoop the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan using a cookie scoop.
Allow to cool completely, or refrigerate to speed up the cooling process. Once cooled, remove from parchment paper and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Ensure to measure the ingredients precisely for the best results.
For a chocolatey twist, consider adding chocolate chips when mixing in the oats.
Store cookies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.
