Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups quick oats
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the mixture begins to gently boil, let it cook for 1 minute, continuing to stir to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the quick oats and white chocolate chips to the saucepan, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the oats are fully coated in the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the cookies are firm, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
