Start without the stove on and grab a stick of butter (1/2 cup).

Add 2 cups of white granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of 2% milk to the pot.

Add 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture.

Turn the burner on to medium-high heat and stir to combine all ingredients.

Let the butter melt and wait for the mixture to start bubbling and boiling.

Once it starts to boil, let it boil for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pot from heat after 1 minute and set it aside.

Add 1/3 cup of peanut butter to the mixture and stir until fully combined.

Add 3 cups of quick oats to the pot and stir until completely combined.

Spoon the cookie mixture onto a sheet of aluminum foil quickly before it starts to dry.

Let the cookies sit for about 20 minutes until they are hard enough to pick up.
