Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, swirling the pan. Cook until golden brown and nutty (4-6 minutes). Pour into a bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in oats and chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop tablespoons of dough, space 2 inches apart, and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added crunch, mix in 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
Dough can be made ahead and chilled for 24 hours for enhanced flavor.
Store cookies in an airtight container for 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
