Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
3 cups quick oats (or rolled oats)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in caramel sauce and vanilla.
Add oats and mix until fully coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt.
Let cookies set at room temperature for 30–40 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
Notes
Use quick oats for a softer cookie or rolled oats for extra chewiness.
For richer flavor, drizzle extra caramel sauce on top before adding sea salt.
Store up to 1 week in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
Great for holiday cookie trays—no oven required!
