Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or the Silicone Baking Mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, add sugar, butter, milk or water, and cocoa powder; stir until melted. Increase heat to medium-high and bring just to a boil, stirring constantly so the mixture does not burn. Remove from heat.
Add peanut butter, oats, and vanilla; stir until well mixed.
While mixture is still warm, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking pans. Let sit until cool and the chocolate is hardened.
