  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free oats.
    Boil Timing Matters: Let the mixture just reach a boil—overcooking can cause dry cookies.
    Consistency Tip: If cookies don’t set, chill for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
    Peanut Butter Swap: Creamy works best, but chunky peanut butter can be used for added texture.
    Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
    No Oven Needed: Perfect for warm days or quick desserts.
