- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup butter
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions

Notes
For chewier cookies, increase oats slightly. Add-ins like nuts, peanut butter, or dried fruits make fun variations. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
