if you haven’t tried making brown butter yet, what are you waiting for? I suggest you drop everything (or schedule a time in the near future!) to bake these cookies.

After baking two batches in as many days, I’m utterly convinced that brown butter and oats and cinnamon chips are absolutely made for each other.

I may have inhaled one or two still slightly warm from the oven – best decision ever! Toasty brown butter paired with sweet and warming cinnamon chips makes for one divine cookie.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

  1. 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!

  2. 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 🙂

  3. 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.
