Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Combine sugar, butter, milk, and caramel sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, let the mixture boil for exactly 90 seconds without stirring.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and peanut butter until smooth.
  5. Fold in the oats until every oat is thoroughly coated with the caramel mixture.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets and sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  7. Let the cookies cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until they firm up.

Notes

Ensure accurate timing during the boiling stage for proper texture. Use quality sea salt for the best flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
