Measure out 2 1/2 cups of quick oats and 3/4 cup of peanut butter into a bowl.

Cut 1/2 cup of room temperature butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and add to a medium-sized pot.

Add 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of milk to the pot.

Place the pot on medium-high heat and whisk until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Once boiling, set a timer for 60 seconds and continue to stir.

After 60 seconds, remove from heat and add the peanut butter and oats mixture along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Stir until everything is well combined and the peanut butter melts.

Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized disks of the mixture onto parchment paper.

Let the cookies set for about 20 minutes until firm.
