Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium pot, combine 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup milk.

Add 1/2 cup unsalted butter to the pot and mix until combined.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts.

Once melted, stop stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Set a timer for 60 seconds and let it boil without stirring.

After 60 seconds, remove the pot from heat.

Stir in 2 and 1/2 cups quick oats, 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.

Scoop out two tablespoon-sized portions and drop them onto the lined baking sheets.

Let the cookies set for about 20 minutes before enjoying.
