Ingredients

3 cups quick-cook oats

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup butter

2 cups sugar

½ cup milk

1 cup peanut butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Prep the Base:
In a large mixing bowl, stir together oats and salt. Set aside.

Cook the Syrup:
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together butter, sugar, and milk.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Mix in Flavor:
Immediately whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.

Combine with Oats:
Pour the hot mixture over the oats. Stir until well coated and fully mixed.

Form Cookies:
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the paper.

Cool & Set:
Allow cookies to cool completely on the countertop until firm and dry (about 1 hour).

Notes

For firmer cookies, reduce milk to ⅓ cup.

Use natural or creamy peanut butter for best texture.

Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a twist.

Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months.
