Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the sugar and milk. Cook and stir often until the mixture reaches a rolling boil. Once boiling, stop stirring and allow it to boil for a full minute to ensure proper thickening, then remove the saucepan from direct heat.
- Add Flavorings and Oats: Stir in the Nutella and creamy peanut butter until well combined. Then mix in the salt and vanilla extract. Finally, fold in the quick cooking oats thoroughly to create the cookie mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, quickly drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto parchment paper. Spread the cookies evenly as they will firm up and set as they cool.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature until they firm up completely before serving. This typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Notes
- For chewy cookies, use quick oats rather than old-fashioned rolled oats as they absorb the mixture better.
- Ensure you boil the mixture for the full minute to avoid grainy cookies and to help them set properly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile or to accommodate allergies.
- These cookies can be made vegan by substituting butter with a plant-based alternative and using a non-dairy milk.
