Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Let the browned butter cool before mixing to prevent separating the ingredients.
- For thicker cookies, rest the dough longer or chill briefly.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly shaped cookies.
- Add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top for extra flavor.
