Ingredients
  

Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks / 227 g
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 256 g
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats 90 g
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips 168 g
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 168 g

Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium Saucepan
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter to create browned butter. It will begin to foam, which signals the water in the butter is boiling off. Watch closely at this stage. Tiny brown specs of milk solids will begin to appear at the bottom of the pan. Constantly stir and scrape these off using a spatula so they don't stick. As soon as the butter turns chestnut brown and smells nutty, remove the pan from the heat. (This takes about 6-7 minutes.)
  2. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the warm pan and stir until the sugars are incorporated and smooth. Place the mixture into the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.
  3. While the mixture is chilling, preheat the oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. After the brown butter mixture has cooled slightly, remove it from the refrigerator. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
  5. Add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the cookie dough onto the lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Using your hand or the bottom of a glass, press each cookie down slightly.
  8. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. (Do not overbake.) Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to continue to cool.

Notes

These cookies are perfect for any occasion and are sure to impress! The key to their unique flavor is the browned butter, which adds a nutty depth to the cookies.
