Equipment

Large Saucepan
Wooden Spoon
Cookie Scoop

Ingredients

1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup 1 stick butter
½ cup milk
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ¼ quick oats

Instructions

In a large pot you will add granulated sugar, butter and milk. Heat on medium heat stirring often until the butter is fully melted.
Next increase the heat to medium high. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Stir continously, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Stir well.
Add in the quick oats once the peanut butter is melted.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop up cookies and place on a wax paper or parchment paper lined counter or baking sheet.
Let the cookies set up for around 30 minutes to an hour. Then enjoy.

Notes

Oats - I recommend quick oats as old fashioned oats can be used but they will cause the cookies to become a lot drier in texture and chewy.

Stirring Mixture - Make sure to stir the mixture often, and then constantly once it boils or it will burn the sugar mixture.

Storing - Store the cookies at room temperature in a sealed container. Or freeze for eating later.
