- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats
Instructions
- Combine base ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
- Boil mixture: Boil the mixture for exactly 1 minute, maintaining a consistent boil to properly cook the sugar and ingredients.
- Add peanut butter and flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Mix in oats: Add the quick oats to the mixture, stirring well until all oats are thoroughly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Form cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart to set.
- Set cookies: Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm before serving.
Notes
- For a softer texture, substitute old-fashioned oats for quick oats.
- Mix in chocolate chips or shredded coconut into the oat mixture before dropping on the sheets for additional flavor and texture.
