Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter – Melted and browned for a nutty flavor.
- 1 cup granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and structure.
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar – Provides moisture and a caramel-like taste.
- 2 large eggs at room temperature – Helps bind the dough and create a soft texture.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor.
For the Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – Forms the base of the cookie dough.
- 1 cup rolled oats – Adds texture and a slight chewiness.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda – Helps the cookies rise and spread.
- ½ teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances other flavors.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – Adds warmth and depth to the cookies.
For the Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips – For classic chocolate goodness.
- 1 cup white chocolate chips – Adds a creamy, sweet contrast.
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Butter
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat until foamy. Stir constantly and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
Step 4: Add Mix-Ins
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Chill the Dough
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Browning Butter Properly: Cook the butter slowly and stir constantly to avoid burning. Look for a golden color and nutty aroma.
- Use Room-Temperature Eggs: This ensures the eggs incorporate smoothly into the dough.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough only until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- Chill the Dough: Skipping this step can result in flat, overly spread cookies.
- Measure Flour Accurately: Use the spoon-and-level method to avoid adding too much flour, which can make the cookies dense.
