Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled
- ¾ cup (150g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned oats
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (90g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (90g) white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional
Instructions
- Brown the Butter:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat until foamy. Stir constantly and cook until golden brown and nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Combine Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Refrigerate the mixture for 10–15 minutes to cool.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the cooled butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until fully combined.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add half the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently. Add the remaining dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using), and mix until just combined.
- Chill the Dough:
- Roll the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the chilled dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
