Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the oats and stir until fully coated.
- Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or chill in the refrigerator for faster results.
Notes
- Use quick oats for best texture—old-fashioned oats can make the cookies too chewy.
- You can substitute almond or sunflower butter for a nut-free version.
- Add mini chocolate chips or shredded coconut for extra flavor.
