Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and whole milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, then remove it from heat to avoid overcooking.
Immediately stir in the pure vanilla extract, creamy peanut butter, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the quick-cooking oats, stirring until all the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet to form cookies.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
