Ingredients
Scale
Brown Butter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
Cookies:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir into wet mixture.
- Add Mix-ins: Fold in oats and chocolate chips until evenly combined.
- Chill Dough: Cover dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are just set. Cool on pan before transferring to a rack.
Notes
- Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture.
- For chewier cookies, bake for a shorter time.
- You can add chocolate chunks or nuts for variation.
