Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 0.25 cups Strawberry jelly (or your favorite variety)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture begins to bubble, let it boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until the oats are fully coated in the peanut butter mixture.
Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly into cookie shapes.
Lightly press a small indent into the center of each cookie using the back of a spoon or your thumb.
Add a small dollop of jelly into the center of each cookie indent, being careful not to overfill.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for a quicker set time.
Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
