Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) dairy-free butter (or regular butter if not dairy-free)
  • ½ cup dairy-free milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well)
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups gluten-free quick-cooking oats (or regular quick-cooking oats if not gluten-free)
  • ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Combine Sugar, Butter, Milk, and Cocoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, dairy-free butter, dairy-free milk, and cocoa powder. Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
  • Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, set a timer for 1 minute and continue to boil, stirring constantly. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency.
  • Remove From Heat: After 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Don’t overcook, or the cookies will be dry.
  • Add Peanut Butter, Vanilla, and Salt: Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is smooth and well combined. The mixture should be glossy and easily pourable.
  • Stir in Oats: Add the gluten-free quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture. Make sure all the oats are moistened.
  • Drop Onto Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure they are all the same size.
  • Let Set: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator.
