Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 220kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (if you are using standard table salt instead of kosher salt, use ½ teaspoon of salt)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ½ - 2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
- Flaky sea salt, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Begin by browning the butter. Add the butter to a large pot over medium heat. Let the butter melt and begin to brown. This will be a slow process; continue to stir the butter as it browns. The butter will bubble, become foamy, and then, shortly after, turn golden brown. Stir continuously as this process occurs. Once the butter is golden brown, remove the pan from the heat. You should see lots of little brown bits in the butter.
- Add the brown butter to a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer. Let the butter cool for 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and white sugar and blend the sugars and cooled brown butter together for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and oats. Mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips or chunks and mix until combined.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a standard cookie scoop to place 12 cookies on each pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Let them cool for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
Notes
