Brown Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Brown Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a saucepan and melt some butter over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Keep an eye on it, swirling the pan occasionally until it transforms into a beautiful golden brown, which should take about five minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once it reaches that perfect color, pour the browned butter into a bowl and let it cool for a bit.

4. Step 4

   While that’s happening, preheat your oven to a cozy 325°F (168°C) so it’s ready for your cookies.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled browned butter with both brown sugar and white sugar.

6. Step 6

   Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

7. Step 7

   Next, add one egg and mix until it’s fully blended in, then follow with the second egg and a splash of vanilla extract.

8. Step 8

   Keep beating until everything is a lovely uniform color, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
