This recipe features browned butter for a deep, nutty aroma and chewy oats for added texture, resulting in irresistibly soft and flavorful cookies perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 31 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Browning the Butter: Add the unsalted butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan until small brown bits form, about 6–8 minutes. Remove the pan from heat immediately to prevent burning.
  2. Mix Sugars into Butter: Stir the light brown sugar and granulated sugar directly into the warm browned butter until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the butter and sugar mixture to the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to cool slightly and thicken.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Remove the butter mixture from the fridge. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla bean paste, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, and kosher salt to the bowl. Mix gently just until the dough forms and no dry flour remains.
  7. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed through the dough.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie. Lightly press each dough ball down for even baking.
  9. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 11–13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft. Be careful not to overbake to maintain the chewy texture.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using browned butter enhances the flavor with a rich, nutty note—do not skip this step for best results.
  • Room temperature eggs improve dough consistency and help achieve a tender texture.
  • If you prefer a crispier cookie, bake for the full 13 minutes; for softer centers, aim closer to 11 minutes.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Old-fashioned oats add chewy texture; quick oats can be substituted but may change cookie texture slightly.
