Description
Brown butter and cinnamon chips collide in the perfect fall treat: rich and chewy brown butter oatmeal cinnamon chip cookies!
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats, toasted
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cinnamon chips
Topping
- 3 Tbsp cinnamon chips
Instructions
- Cook butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, turns clear, and then turns a deep brown, about 6 minutes. Pour browned butter into a glass measuring cup and chill in the freezer until solidified, about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Whisk together flour, oats, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Beat solidified brown butter and sugars in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until creamy; beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat just until incorporated. Fold in cinnamon chips. Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (if cookie dough has chilled overnight, let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Form 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets; flatten mounds slightly. Top cookies with remaining cinnamon chips, pressing to adhere.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are set. Cool for 10 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I agree, the invention of brown butter has gotta be one of the best things ever! Love the cookies 🙂
That’s like clarifying butter what we call ‘ghee’! Love the smell and we cook a lot with that 🙂 The cookie must be smelling divine!
Wow! This is fall perfection in a cookie!
Wow this looks amazing
Brown butter is the best, totally agree! Cinnamon chips though are something I have never come across here in NZ – might have to order some online because they sound amazing! Especially paired with oats and brown butter- sounds like such an autumnal cookie 🙂
Hi Angela, thank you! Yes, brown butter is the same as beurre noisette. ????
Can’t imagine a better combination than brown butter, oatmeal and cinnamon. Yum!
I soooo want this cookies. But I can’t find the cinnamon chips anywhere near me. I think that if I would have those little gems in my possesion they would change my life, I would put them in everything.
Cinnamon baking chips are lethal, in a good way. I can only imagine how wickedly delicious they would be when combined with brown butter!
Those photos – I am weak at the knees!!!
Why have I still never tried cinnamon chips? These cookies just look so amazing!!
I love the idea of using cinnamon chips in oatmeal cookies! These cookies look like fall perfection.
I love brown butter biscuits! xx
I’ve never met a brown butter baked good I haven’t liked…LOVED! These look and sound spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
I’m almost speechless – these are beautiful cookies. I tried the cinnamon chips last year in apple scones – so tasty! Sharing and pinning 🙂
Those cinnamon chips are the best ever! Oatmeal cookies are one of my favourites and well I’ve already mentioned loads of times how much I love browned butter. These will be on my “must make” list! 😀
I’m a huge proponent of brown butter, too! Your cookies look spectacular—I have two oatmeal cookies left in my freezer, then I NEED to make more. My next batch will be a brown butter version, too 🙂 Now if I only had some cinnamon chips….
Oh Laura! Your recipe and photos just scream fall! This morning I swapped out my mid-morning iced coffee for hot tea. One of these scrumptious cookies would be perfect with my steaming hot tea.
