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
Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats and salt. Set aside.
Make the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together butter, sugar, and milk.
Boil: Bring to a rolling boil and cook for exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Add flavor: Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and combined.
Combine: Pour the peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir until evenly coated.
Form cookies: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop spoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) of the mixture onto the sheet.
Cool and set: Allow cookies to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator for storage.
Notes
Boiling tip: Start timing the 1-minute boil only once the mixture reaches a rolling boil (lots of bubbles across the surface).
Texture fix:
If cookies are too hard, the mixture boiled too long.
If cookies are too soft, it didn’t boil long enough.
Cooling tip: Let cookies cool on the counter before refrigerating — chilling too early can make them gooey.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
