Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set it aside.
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the plant-based butter until fully liquefied.
- Add sugar, milk & cocoa: Whisk in the granulated sugar, almond milk, and cocoa powder. Continue stirring until smooth.
- Boil the mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
This boiling step is crucial—boiling long enough ensures the cookies set properly. - Add peanut butter & vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Stir in the oats: Add the quick oats and mix until everything is evenly coated and thick.
- Form the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until the cookies are firm and set.
