In a large bowl, stir together oats and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, whisk together butter, sugar, and milk.
Bring the mixture to a boil for about a minute and then remove from heat.
Whisk in peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over oats and stir until combined.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Drop tge cookies onto the wax paper using a medium cookie scoop.
Let the cookies cool on the countertop. Store in the refrigerator once cookies are cool and dry.

It's important to start the 60 seconds once you've reached a rolling boil, not when you see the first few bubbles. If you start counting too soon, your cookies may not set properly.
If your cookies are too hard, you might have boiled your sugar mixture too long or at too high of a heat.
If your cookies are too gooey, you might not have boiled your sugar mixture long enough.
It’s VERY important you let them cool on the counter before putting them in the fridge or they will become gooey.
