Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter, such as Justin’s
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Melted dark chocolate, slightly cooled but still pourable

Directions

Bring brown sugar, milk, and butter to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally. Boil 1 minute, then remove from heat. Stir in oats, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Transfer dough to a small heatproof bowl.

Drop level tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing down slightly. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until cool and set, at least 1 hour. Drizzle with chocolate; refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 5 minutes. Cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

                I was about a tsp shy on unsalted butter, so I compensated with coconut oil. then I added 1/3 cup shredded coconut to the oats. I opted out of chocolate drizzle.

                I agree about the inability to get them to hold together. I also used natural peanut butter, but I use it for my peanut butter cookies without a problem. I'm going to try to salvage this by adding more peanut butter. It seems to me the oats are the problem. Not going to waste time & ingredients again.

                Was this recipe tested?   I followed it to the letter and it w ould not stick together, it was way too dry.  I had to add more butter and honey to get them to form a shape.  Even with the added honey they are not very sweet.  Perhaps because I used natural peanut butter.

                I did a calculation using the exact ingredients above and for 40 " logs". They each contain 89 calories per log, with 5.1 g of fat, 1.6 g saturated fats, 3.4 g cholesterol, 8.2 g of carbs, 3.3 g of sugar, 1.1 g of fiber and 3.7 g of protein. Lastly, 43.7 mg sodium using unsalted butter.
                
                I think this is very accurate, but if anyone calculates  it differently, then please feel free to add your post.

                Is there an alternative to "baking the oats" that doesn't involve baking? Would love to forward this to my condo-living friends :-)

                Excellent recipe! To those of you that complained about the baking instructions... The only thing that was baked was the oats, not the cookies.

                Is there a recipe for the other cookies on the plate?

                I SURE wish we could get nutritional values on all the recipes.  Would be critical to know the fats, cholesterol, sugar content for example; much less the calories.  Still asking for this...

                The oats may also be toasted in a cast iron skillet on the stove top, if you don't want to use the oven at all.

                My logs won't hold together. What can I add to save this recipe?

                I absolutely love these cookies ... I was skeptical while I was making them that they would be flavorful, but they are so, so delicious.  They are also a great cookie to make when it's too hot to turn the oven on.  Serve with a little vanilla ice cream and it's a great after-dinner treat.

                Is there any possibility of adding a list describing how many calories are in the cookies?

                These were really bland!  Nothing exciting...I guess I was expecting something similar to a "Buckeye" and these are not it.  Maybe you could add some powder sugar to sweeten them up?? More salty than sweet.

                Never did it say bake the entire cookie.  It simply said to toast the oatmeal in the oven.  This recipe sounds delicious and I will be trying it soon.  I love simple and delicious recipes with my busy schedule.  Thanks Martha ! ! ! !
