# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 200 grams granulated sugar
02 - 115 grams unsalted butter
03 - 120 milliliters whole milk
04 - 240 grams quick-cooking oats
05 - 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

→ Flavor and Binding Agents

06 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
07 - 130 grams creamy peanut butter
08 - Pinch of fine salt

# Instructions:

01 - Combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and whole milk in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
02 - Allow the mixture to boil vigorously for exactly 1 minute without stirring further. Remove saucepan from heat immediately after timing ends.
03 - Add unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, creamy peanut butter, and a pinch of fine salt to the hot mixture. Stir promptly until smooth and completely blended.
04 - Place quick-cooking oats in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the oats and stir thoroughly until oats are evenly coated and the mixture is cohesive.
05 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or scoop, portion mounds of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing evenly.
06 - Allow the cookies to rest at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes or until firm and set before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Avoid over-boiling the syrup, as it can cause the final texture to become dry and crumbly.
