• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 2 cups quick oats

Instructions

2. Add the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if desired). Stir continuously to blend the ingredients.

Step 4: Chill the Cookies
