How to Make No-Bake Salted Caramel Cookies
- Make the Caramel Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in brown sugar and milk. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Mix It Up: Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and oats (and any extras you love), and mix until well combined.
- Form the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper or a lined tray.
- Add a Finishing Touch: Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt while still warm.
- Set and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool and firm up at room temperature (or refrigerate for quicker results). Then devour!
Pro Tips
- Use quick oats for a smoother texture, or rolled oats for a heartier bite.
- Stir constantly while cooking the caramel to prevent burning.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week — if they last that long!
