Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine butter, sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt in a saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Let it boil for exactly one minute, then remove from heat.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and rolled oats until everything is well combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the wet ingredients.
  • If you prefer chewier cookies, use quick oats instead of rolled oats.
  • Ensure your wax paper is laid out before you start mixing, as the cookies set quickly.
