- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- Pinch of salt
Instructions

- Bring to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Notes
- Use quick oats for the best texture; rolled oats may make the cookies too chewy.
- For a firmer cookie, chill them in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
- Try adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts for variety.
- Make them dairy-free by using plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
