| salted. caramel. cookies. in less than 20 minutes... |
I created the recipe on the fly, and it worked out perfectly for me! So, of course I had to make a second test batch, just to make sure they were as good as I remembered. Now I'm already wanting to make another round! My skinny jeans are begging me not to... I keep telling them to be quiet! These are just too easy to make! You try them and let me now what you think!
Naturally, any amazing recipe must begin with the world's best ingredients: butter and sugar.
1 stick (add extra 1/8 tsp salt if unsalted) butter, 1 cup white and 1 cup packed brown sugar.
Stir butter and sugars together in a saucepan over medium heat until gooey.
Add 1/2 cup of milk and stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then time for 4 minutes, occasionally stirring.
Turn off heat, add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp baking soda, then stir.
Add 3 1/4 cups of oatmeal
Drop spoonfuls of the gooey goodness on to parchment paper or a cookie sheet. Try not to touch them if you can, they are hot. In fact they may burn your mouth if you try to eat them now. Just saying. If you're in a hurry for a cookie like me, you can be a little messy with it.
Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt if you are the salted caramel type (I so am).
If not, they are good to go! Leave them out on the counter, or put them in the fridge until hardened if you are really needing a cookie.
There you have it. Worth every calorie. :)

ReplyDeleteSee ya!
Doing the same thing! Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. WHY did I have to read this at almost 10 pm? Hmmm....
ReplyDelete(found you from Abbie's blog, BTW. Love it!)
@ Laura- I hope they worked out for you! :)
ReplyDelete@ Mikki- let me know how it went!! I'm still trying not to eat the batch in my freezer!! LOL!
@Kelli- thanks for stopping by!! :D I get hungry for sweets this time of night, and almost always bake something when the craving hits! Yay for late night baking! :P
I feel as though this is an answer to my unspoken prayers!!! ;0) I LOVED the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate that Starbucks used to serve and then so cruelly took away from me, I am SO trying these tomorrow! Thanks for sharing, and thank you in advance from my kiddos! haha
ReplyDeleteJust made a batch of these, and they are delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteMade these in a quick 15 min for my son and his friends on their first day of marching band practice. Thanks for the recipe, they're yummy! I love no bakes when its this hot out, still homemade goodness minus the heat of the oven.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I know they do have a sort of praline-y texture, it might depend on using real butter vs margarine, and old fashioned oats vs quick. I used real butter and quick oats. They are supposed to have a texture like the chocolate version of no-bakes. Kind of sugary, with a bite instead of soft like caramel. Glad you liked them either way!! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay. So I whipped up a batch. And they didn't turn out quite right. They aren't caramel-y at all. They're PRALINES! Oatmeal PRALINES! Super good, even if they aren't what I was expecting... My mother-in-law is really happy with them- she has no teeth and can't eat regular nutty pralines....
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh... I SO have to try these. I LOVE LOVE LOVE salted caramel... And chocolate. Wonka has a bar I really adore but it's darn expensive.
ReplyDeleteGotta try these tonight I think.
One question.. Are we supposed to use oats or actual prepared oatmeal? Help! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! My whole family loves them and they are so easy to make. Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe!
ReplyDeletein your pictures it says "1/2 tsp of baking soda" but in your list of ingredients it says "1/4 tsp of baking soda" i was wondering which one is correct?
