Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups quick oats
• 0.5 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and milk.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to gently boil, let it cook for 1 minute, continuing to stir to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Add the quick oats and white chocolate chips to the saucepan, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the oats are fully coated in the mixture.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 7

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once the cookies are firm, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
