Ingredients
1 cup (220g) unsalted butter, melted to make 3/4 cup (160g)
1 cup (200g) light or dark brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (175g) old fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mix-ins such as chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee bits, or nuts
Instructions
1-First, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns a light brown and amber color, then measure exactly 3/4 cup (160g) and let it cool.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt for even mixing.
3-Next, in a large bowl, combine the cooled brown butter with brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
4-Fold in the dry ingredients and any mix-ins gently to keep the dough tender.
5-Chilling and Baking Steps:* Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes to help it hold shape.* Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.* Scoop dough into balls, press to 1/2 inch thickness, and bake for 10-14 minutes depending on size.
6-Once baked, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool for 15 minutes. This method ensures your cookies turn out just right, with edges golden and centers soft.
