2. Combine Ingredients: In a large heavy saucepan, combine milk, cocoa, butter, and sugar.

3. Boil Mixture: Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a full boil over medium heat. Once boiling, continue to boil for 1 minute.

4. Remove from Heat: Once the mixture has boiled for 1 minute, remove the saucepan from the heat source.

5. Add Flavor: Stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter until the peanut butter is completely melted and well incorporated.

6. Incorporate Oats: Quickly stir in the quick oats until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

7. Shape Cookies: Working swiftly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper or spread it evenly onto a buttered cookie sheet.

8. Allow to Cool: Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature until they have set.

9. Cut and Serve: If using a cookie sheet, cut the cookies into squares before serving.

Tips:

• Speed is Key: Work quickly when dropping the mixture onto waxed paper or spreading it onto the cookie sheet, as the cookies can set rapidly.
• Boiling Time: Ensure the mixture boils for the full 1 minute as specified in the recipe. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency.
• Adjusting Consistency: If the cookies don’t set properly, it indicates that the mixture wasn’t boiled long enough. Conversely, if the cookies turn out dry, the mixture was boiled for too long.
