  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with aluminum foil.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and mix in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Drop by level teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Spread cookies out thin with a rubber spatula.
