In a large bowl, stir together the quick cook oats and salt. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.

Bring the mixture to a boil for about one minute, then remove from heat.

Whisk in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir until everything is well combined.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop cookies onto the wax paper using a medium cookie scoop.

Let the cookies cool on the counter top. Store in the refrigerator once the cookies are cool and dry.
