- In a saucepan on the stove, mix together the sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and butter over a medium heat. Constantly stir until the mixture begins to boil. Once it’s boiling, let it boil for one minute, still stirring constantly.
- After a minute, remove the mixture from heat and pour over the oat mixture. Stir an incorporate all the ingredients well. Let then entire mixture cool for a few minutes.

You can easily make these cookies gluten free by using gluten free oats. And you can use either rolled or quick oats, they will both give the cookies a slightly different texture. The quick oats will be softer and the rolled oats will have a hearty texture. Both work great so use whichever you happen to have on hand.
These cookies will last about a week in the fridge (if they make it that long!) and this recipe will make about 2 dozen cookies. You can also freeze these cookies if you don’t plan on eating them right away.
