Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies With Chocolate Chunks
Description
Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies With Chocolate Chunks bring together the nutty aroma of browned butter and the chewy texture of oats. The dough is made from white whole-wheat flour, oats, and spices including cinnamon for warmth. Butter is melted and cooked until it foams and turns brown, releasing its nutty flavor, then mixed with sugars, egg, and vanilla. After combining the dry ingredients, the dough is folded together and chocolate chunks are added for melty pockets of richness.
The dough is rolled into thick balls to preserve chewiness, baked until the tops are just set, leaving the interiors soft. The cookies offer a combination of soft crumb and slightly chewy edges from the oats and browned butter undertones enhancing the overall flavor.
This baked cookie is a comforting snack or sweet to pair with tea or coffee, with enough density to satisfy without being overly sweet. It can be enjoyed fresh from the oven or stored for a day or two to allow the flavors to mellow.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour (120g)
- 1 cup oats not old-fashioned, quick-cooking
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 5 tablespoons coconut sugar packed (or brown sugar)
- 5 tablespoons cane sugar raw organic
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate roughly chopped, chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir it regularly to ensure even melting.
- Once the butter is melted, begin to stir it constantly. It will turn yellow, foam up, and eventually begin to turn brown and smell nutty. Once it does, remove it from the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.
- Into the butter, whisk in the sugars. Then, add in the egg and vanilla and stir until mixed.
- Add the flour mixture in and stir until combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, roll the cookies into balls, and put them on the cookie sheet, pressing down very slightly. You want the balls to be thicker than they are wide, so they don't spread out too much and they are nice and chewy!
- Bake for for 11-12 minutes, until the tops feel just set. The cookies will feel very underdone, but they cook a lot more on the pan when they are cooling!
- Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Gently transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Devour!
