# Steps:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats and fine sea salt. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and whole milk. Whisk continuously until butter is melted and mixture is fully combined.

Quickly stir in creamy peanut butter and pure vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture becomes smooth.

Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature until completely firm and dry to the touch. Transfer to the refrigerator for optimal storage.
