- Remove the saucepan from your stove top and stir in the vanilla and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Then stir in the quick oats until well coated and evenly distributed in the syrup.1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, 3 cups quick oats

Equipment You May Need
Notes
- It is really important that the syrup reaches a full rolling boil to set the cookies properly.
- Once you have a full rolling boil, it is also really important that you set a time for 1 minute. When the timer goes off, remove from heat.
- These two things will make sure that your cookies set perfectly and they turn out fudgy, not soft-set, or too firm.
