Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 cups quick oats
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2% preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional), finely grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare your sheet pan by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper so cookies will release easily.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter pieces, and milk.
  3. Keep the heat moderate so the butter melts evenly and the sugar dissolves without burning.
  4. Stir the mixture constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves into the milk.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the oats, salt, and lemon zest until well combined.
  7. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared paper, spacing them a couple inches apart.
  8. Let the cookies set at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes until firm.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature; refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
