1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick-cooking oats
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and milk. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
2. Let it boil for exactly one minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. Add in the oats and fold until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions onto a parchment-lined tray.
6. Let them cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or place in the fridge to speed it up.
7. Once firm, store in an airtight container or enjoy right away.
Notes
Use quick oats for a softer texture.
Let the mixture boil exactly one minute or cookies may not set properly.
Chill in the fridge if you’re short on time.
