Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup chocolate chips melted
  • Sea salt optional garnish

Instructions

  • Melt butter with brown sugar and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth and bubbling.
  • Remove from heat, then stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Mix in oats until evenly coated and sticky.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a parchment-lined tray. Flatten slightly and press a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Fill each indentation with about a teaspoon of caramel sauce. As the cookies chill, the caramel will firm up for a gooey center.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each interval. Drizzle over cookies with a spoon or piping bag.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the layers and firm the texture.
