Ingredients
  

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup whole milk

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, whole milk, and cocoa powder. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.

    Once boiling, let the mixture cook for exactly 1 minute (do not exceed this time) while continuing to stir. This will help create a good texture for your cookies.

      Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.

        Stir in the rolled oats, mixing well to ensure they are evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.

          If desired, add in the mini chocolate chips and a pinch of salt, mixing to combine.

            Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dollops of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon if a flatter cookie is preferred.

              Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are set.

                Once cooled, enjoy your delicious no-bake cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
