Make simple, chewy chocolate oatmeal cookies on the stovetop without using your oven. This recipe sets quickly for a fast dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Combine the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
  3. Boil the mixture for exactly 1 minute without stirring after the boil starts.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly add the rolled oats to the chocolate mixture and stir until the oats are completely coated.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper laid on a baking sheet.
  7. Let the cookies cool and set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use quick-cooking oats for the best texture; old-fashioned oats may result in a looser set.
  • Do not overcook the sugar mixture after it boils, or the cookies may become crumbly.
  • Work quickly once the oats are added, as the mixture sets fast.
