Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 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
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Add oats and coconut (if using); stir until well combined.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
- Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- For best results, use quick-cooking oats, not old-fashioned rolled oats.
- If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
