Trailmix Oatmeal Cookies w/brown butter icing image

I always buy trailmix to munch on. So as a request to make oatmeal cookies I couldnt decide on nuts or raisins, so I thought a mix would be perfect. The trailmix has three different nuts raisins and chocolate! To add to them I found this recipe for brown butter icing from Paula Deen. Very tastey, makes a different kind of oatmeal...

BROWN BUTTER OATMEAL CHUNK COOKIES

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cups rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chunks
optional: 1- 2 tablespoons milk, if dough is crumbly

Steps:

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat and add butter. Whisking constantly, cook butter until bubbly and until small brown bits appear on the bottom of the pan - about 5-6 minutes. Watch closely and immediately remove the butter from the heat, whisking for an additional 30 seconds or so. Set aside and let cool COMPLETELY. Note: It does not need to solidfy at all, but it should not be warm to the touch. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, oats and cinnamon, mixing, then set aside. Once butter has cooled, add to a large bowl. Whisk in sugars, stirring until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla, whisking until smooth once again. Slowly begin to stir in dry ingredients, using your hands if necessary (I always do) to bring dough together. If you find that the dough still won't come together, add in milk 1 tablespoon at a time (I rarely have to do this.) Fold in chocolate chips, distributing them evenly. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Using an ice cream scoop or your hands, form dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on a nonstick baking sheet, then bake for 10-12 minutes, or until bottoms and edges are golden. Let cool before serving

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
  • Toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
  • Be sure to brown the butter until it smells nutty and has a light brown color.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These brown butter oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are chewy, flavorful, and have a crispy edge that is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make these cookies perfectly every time.
