1 Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Bring to a rolling boil, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a full boil for 2 minutes.
3 Remove from the heat. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and stir until smooth, then add the oats and mix until well combined. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, flattening the cookies slightly if desired.
4 Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. The cookies will become firmer the longer they chill.
5 Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
