Line a large area (about 3 ft long) of your counter with wax paper. Since you’ll be making about 30 cookies, you need to have enough space to quickly portion them all before the mixture sets up too much.
In a pot, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk together over medium/high heat.
Once they are all melted and combined, bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, let it boil for 1 minute without stirring, then remove it from the heat.
Stir in the peanut butter and the vanilla until it’s mixed completely. Add in the oats and stir until they’re completely coated.
Working quickly, use a spoon and put heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the wax paper to cool. This recipe makes about 30 cookies.
Allow them to cool for 30-45 minutes before consuming.
