Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar for a Halal-friendly option.
  • 1/2 cup milk Regular or plant-based milk can be used.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep your workspace: Gather all your ingredients and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Add vanilla and salt: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix in the oats and chocolate: Stir in the quick oats until fully combined. Then, add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Form the cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Let them cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes, or until set but still soft.
