Instructions

Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir them together until evenly mixed to ensure a consistent texture.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a smooth, sticky batter.
Drop Batter onto Baking Sheets: Using a rounded teaspoon, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each tablespoon about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown and start to bubble, indicating caramelization.
Cool the Cookies: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up. Then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely and achieve a crisp finish.

Notes

For extra indulgence, dip the cooled cookies in melted chocolate or sandwich two cookies together with chocolate or caramel filling.
Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness and freshness.
Allow space when dropping batter on sheets, as cookies will spread significantly during baking.
If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for added warmth and spice.
