In a large bowl stir together oats and salt. Set aside.
3 cups quick cook oats, ¼ teaspoon salt
In a small saucepan, over medium high heat, whisk together butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and cocoa.
½ cup butter, 1⅔ cups sugar, ½ cup evaporated milk, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Bring the mixture to a boil for about a minute and then remove from heat.
Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
1 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pour chocolate peanut butter mixture over oats and stir until combined.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Let the cookies cool on the counter top. Store in the refrigerator once cookies are cool and dry.

Whole milk works as a tested substitute. The cookies will still set and taste great - the texture will be slightly more textured from the oats.

**If you don’t let them cool on the counter before putting them in the refrigerator they will become very gooey.**
