Easy stovetop cookies with chocolate and peanut butter, ready in minutes. Perfect for a quick treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats

Instructions

  1. Combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat. Boil for exactly 60 seconds, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the quick-cooking oats and stir until well combined.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper.
  6. Let the cookies cool and set for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

  • Using quick-cooking oats helps the cookies set properly. Old-fashioned oats may result in a softer cookie.
  • The 60-second boil is crucial for the cookies to set correctly. Boiling for too short a time will make them gooey, while boiling for too long can make them crumbly.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
  • These cookies are a great after-school snack idea.
