Servings: 18
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter, cut into pieces so it will melt faster
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup Reeses Pieces
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set side.
- In a medium saucepan, heat butter, sugar, and milk over medium heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil (the entire surface should be full of vigourous bubbles.) Stir frequently while it is coming to a boil. Once you get a full rolling boil, set a timer for 60 seconds. Do not stir during this time period.
- Once the 60 seconds is up, turn off the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the oats. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup scoop up the dough and drop it onto prepared baking sheets. Press a few Reese's Pieces onto the top of each cookie.Tip- Do a test cookie. Dough shouldn't spread out too much, but if it does let the dough cool a minute or two before scooping out the remaining cookies.
- Allow to set up for at least 30 minutes before serving.
