Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder over medium-high heat.
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil across the entire surface and boil for exactly sixty seconds.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the quick oats until every flake is fully coated in the chocolate mixture.
Drop large scoops of the mixture onto parchment paper and allow them to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Notes

For the best results, ensure you use commercial-grade creamy peanut butter rather than natural varieties to maintain a stable, fudge-like consistency. If your kitchen is particularly warm, you can place the parchment sheet in the refrigerator to help the cookies firm up more quickly.
