Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate & Walnuts
Before you dive into baking, make sure to gather all the essential ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour the warm brown butter over the sugars and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies are a fantastic dessert to whip up for any occasion, and they promise to fill your home with a mouthwatering scent that no one can resist. Enjoy each bite and share the love with friends and family!
