Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- Approximately 11 ounces of soft caramel candies or caramel-flavored baking morsels
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of instant oats
- ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- Flaked sea salt to garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan set over low heat, place the caramel pieces and butter together. Stir continuously until both ingredients melt completely and form a velvety, cohesive mixture. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Once melted, take the saucepan off the heat and incorporate the vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
- Fold in the quick oats, mixing thoroughly to ensure each oat is enveloped in the warm caramel.
- Using a spoon, portion out the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly flatten each mound into a cookie shape using the back of the spoon.
- While still warm and pliable, finish each cookie with a small pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the caramel’s sweetness.
- Allow the cookies to rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they’ve cooled and solidified.
