# Steps:
01 -
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsalted butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a 3-litre saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally.

Bring mixture to a rolling boil in the centre and around the edges. Boil for exactly one minute, then remove from heat.
04 -
Stir in 160 g of the quick oats just until coated. Add peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, and remaining quick oats. Mix gently until combined.
05 -
Immediately scoop portions using a medium cookie scoop or two spoons and drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
06 -
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
07 -
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate if preferred.
# Additional Notes:

For the best texture, measure oats precisely and avoid overboiling the sugar mixture.
02 -
Cookies set faster on silicone mats but can be made equally well on parchment paper.
