Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick oats
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt. Mix until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Add the quick oats to the saucepan and stir until the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet or countertop with wax paper or parchment paper.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared surface. Flatten them slightly if desired.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes for faster setting.

Step 9

Once the cookies are firm, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
