Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cup rolled oats
- 1 small pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir until the ingredients are combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Avoid overcooking, as this can affect the texture of the cookies.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly into your desired shape.
Allow the cookies to cool and harden at room temperature for 20-30 minutes or transfer them to the fridge for faster setting.
Once the cookies are firm, gently remove them from the parchment paper and enjoy!
