Ingredients
- Salted butter. I prefer salted butter in this recipe.

Pro tips
- Line the baking sheet. Cleanup is much easier when you line the pans with parchment paper, aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
- Milk. You can swap the milk for a nondairy milk if desired.
- Don’t stir while boiling. Once the cookies boil, it’s important not to stir them during the last 60 seconds.
- Immediately add the Nutella and oats. As soon as you remove from the stove add the Nutella and combined. Then add the quick oats. Don’t wait to add these ingredients.
- Only use Quick Oats. Old fashioned oats have a different texture, and the cookies won’t taste the same.
