Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl or in a large saucepan.

Add all remaining ingredients, but watch the milk because you may not need all of it.

Let stand for about 5 minutes, until oats are soft.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with nonstick foil or parchment paper.

For each cookie, spoon out about 1 T. of dough and drop it onto the greased or lined cookie sheet.

Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes.

Let cool on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute.

Move the cookies to wire racks or a towel to cool.
