Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
• 0.25 cups Strawberry jelly (or your favorite variety)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Once the mixture begins to bubble, let it boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan and stir until the oats are fully coated in the peanut butter mixture.

Step 5

Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly into cookie shapes.

Step 7

Lightly press a small indent into the center of each cookie using the back of a spoon or your thumb.

Step 8

Add a small dollop of jelly into the center of each cookie indent, being careful not to overfill.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for a quicker set time.

Step 10

Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
