Instructions
In a large saucepan, heat the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa powder over medium high heat. Stir often as the butter melts.
Bring the syrup to a rolling boil, adjusting your temperature as needed to get a good bubbling boil without over flowing while stirring constantly. You need to cook the syrup at a solid rolling boil for one full minute. Set a timer.
Remove the saucepan from your stove top and stir in the vanilla and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Then stir in the quick oats until well coated and evenly distributed in the syrup.
Use a large tablespoon to drop cookie portions in heaping tablespoonful amounts onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet or working surface. Leave about 1 inch between cookies for spreading.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Notes
The most important part of making your no-bake cookies is to reach a good rolling boil. This means that large bubbles should surface and pop for one full minute. Use a timer once your rolling boil starts.
No-bake cookies come together pretty quickly, so make sure you have all of your ingredients measured and your workstation set up before you get started.
Make sure you stir constantly once your mixture begins boiling in order to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
