Irresistible Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies


  • Author: David
  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Description

These cookies combine the nutty richness of browned butter, the comforting texture of oatmeal, and a sweet maple glaze for a cozy and indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Add oats: Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  6. Portion dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will appear slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  9. Make the glaze: Whisk together maple syrup, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if the butter is still warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Measure ingredients carefully for perfect texture.’, ‘Don’t overbake; cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven.’, ‘Adjust glaze consistency by adding powdered sugar or milk as needed.’]
