Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) Natural varieties can make the texture softer.
  • 1/2 cup butter Can replace with equal coconut oil for dairy-free versions.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold milk Use plant-based milk for dairy-free.
  • 3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats Quick oats are ideal for faster binding.
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have a spoon ready.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine butter, granulated sugar, and cold milk over medium heat.
  3. Stir continuously and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute while stirring.
  4. Remove pot from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Fold in the quick cooking oats until evenly coated and thick.
  6. Use a tablespoon to scoop and drop mounds onto the parchment paper, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature until firm, about 20–30 minutes, or chill briefly in the refrigerator for faster setting.
