Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies
Quick to make, fail-safe, satisfying and nutritious and classic. That’s the best way to describe these Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cups old fashioned oats (NOTE 1)
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat butter in a skillet until brown and it produces a nutty smell. (NOTE 2)
- Allow the butter to cool and mix with the brown sugar and granulated sugar.
- Add the egg and the vanilla extract and mix again.
- Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and add mixture to the butter/sugar mixture.
- Add oats and mix again. It has become a tough, sticky mixture.
- Use an ice scoop and form your cookies. (NOTE 3)
- Place the dough balls on your baking sheet and flatten with your hand. Place them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 minutes for a more chewy cookie and about 10-12 minutes for a more crispy cookie.
- Cool the cookies for a minute on your baking sheet and then move to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- As far as your oats are concerned, you can use only old fashioned rolled oats, only quick oats or a mix of the two. The more old fashioned oats, the more chewy the cookie.
