Ingredients:

3 cups quick-cooking oats

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 cup peanut butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cocoa Drizzle:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1-2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

Prepare the Oats: Line a work surface with parchment paper and set the quick-cooking oats in a large mixing bowl.

Make the Cookie Base: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and milk, then bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently. Once it begins to bubble, let it boil for 1 full minute before removing it from the heat.

Combine with Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the peanut butter melts completely. Pour this peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir gently until evenly combined.

Form the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop portions of dough onto the prepared parchment paper.

Prepare the Cocoa Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk. Transfer the drizzle to a zip-top bag, snip a small hole in the corner, and drizzle over the cookies.

Set and Store: Let the cookies cool and set completely. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
