Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Once the butter is melted, add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of milk to the saucepan. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the vanilla is evenly incorporated.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of rolled oats with the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until all the oats are well coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
- Once all the mixture has been scooped out, allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes until they firm up.
- For best results, refrigerate the cookies for an additional 30 minutes to an hour to help them set completely.
- Enjoy your No Bake Penuche Drop Cookies as a delightful treat!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality rolled oats for the best texture and flavor.
- Stir constantly when cooking the butter, sugar, and milk mixture to prevent burning.
- Ensure your mixture reaches a gentle boil for exactly one minute to achieve the right consistency.
- For perfectly shaped cookies, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for uniform sizing.
- Allow cookies to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate to help them set firmly.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and cookie removal.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For added variety, try sprinkling chopped nuts or a dash of sea salt on top before they set.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- If the mixture seems too runny, let it cool slightly before dropping onto the baking sheet.
