  • Total Time: 47 minutes
  • Yield: 18 large cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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.

Notes

๐Ÿงˆ Measure browned butter precisely to 3/4 cup (160g) to avoid excessive spreading.
โ„๏ธ Chill dough for 20 minutes to help oats absorb moisture and create thicker cookies.
๐ŸŒพ Use old fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats can be a substitute.
