Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cream, and cocoa, then boil for 1 minute.
Remove the saucepan from heat, add the peanut butter and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Stir in the oats.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter onto wax paper–lined baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart, and let cool until set, about 20 minutes.
