Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups quick oats
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the quick oats to the saucepan and stir until the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Line a baking sheet or countertop with wax paper or parchment paper.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared surface. Flatten them slightly if desired.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes for faster setting.
Once the cookies are firm, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
