These cookies have a more toothsome appeal thanks to the addition of browned butter, vanilla bean paste, and oats. The bonus: the dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for those moments when the craving hits. Just make sure to shape the cookies before refrigerating, and let come to room temperature before baking.

Time 35m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a stainless steel saucepan (this is important so you can tell when the butter has browned.) Whisk frequently for several minutes. When you start to smell the nutty aroma of the butter browning, and see small browned bits at the bottom of the pan, immediately remove pan from heat and carefully pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, oats, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl until well combined; set aside.
  • Add both sugars to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla bean paste and beat for 1 more minute. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon spring-hinged scoop, scoop out dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and allow to cool.
