Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prepare for cookie placement.
- In a large saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat until completely liquefied and smooth.
- Add granulated sugar and milk to the melted butter, stirring continuously to create a uniform mixture.
- Whisk in unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes glossy and dark chocolate colored.
- Bring the chocolate mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Allow to boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in peanut butter until completely melted and integrated.
- Add quick oats and chocolate chips, stirring quickly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated and distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto prepared baking sheets.
- Allow cookies to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes until they become firm.
- Once set, transfer cookies to an airtight container, placing wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure you boil the mixture exactly 1 minute - this is crucial for the right cookie consistency.
- Work quickly when adding oats and chocolate chips to prevent mixture from cooling and hardening.
- For a smoother texture, use quick oats instead of old-fashioned rolled oats.
- Let cookies set completely at room temperature to achieve the perfect chewy-yet-firm texture.
- Store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of standard chocolate chips.
- If mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before dropping onto baking sheets.
