Brown Butter and Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

Brown butter adds extra deliciousness to these oatmeal chocolate cookies. Honestly, they are the best cookies I've eaten (store-bought or homemade)! Prepare the brown butter in advance because it will have to cool completely.

Time 50m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (168 degrees C).
  • Beat browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat one egg into the butter mixture until smooth; add second egg and vanilla extract and beat again until smooth and uniform in color.
  • Mix oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; add to the browned butter mixture and stir to get a cookie dough. Stir chocolate chips into the dough. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonful onto baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven until edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
