- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Cook Mixture: Bring the saucepan contents to a boil over medium heat and let it cook for 1 minute to ensure the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth.

- Set and Cool: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until firm enough to handle and enjoy.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option.
- Ensure the mixture is hot enough before adding oats to help the cookies set properly.

- To make them vegan, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan sugar alternative.
