Cowboy Cookies

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats

Place the butter, sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, making sure to stir often until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and allow to boil for 60 seconds (make sure to set a timer) stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined. Stir in the oats and mix until all of the oats are coated with the mixture and everything is well combined.

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.

Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.

Best served alongside popcorn for dinner.
