Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Small Saucepan
- Mixing Bowl
- Cookie Scoop
- Cookie sheets
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
- 2 1/4 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper. This simple step makes cleanup a breeze!
- Brown the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt and gently brown the butter until it turns a lovely golden color and smells nutty. This adds a rich, deep flavor profile. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, egg, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir.
- Combine Flavors: Gradually pour the slightly cooled brown butter into your oat mixture. Mix everything until it’s well combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt and all-purpose flour until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Bake Them Up: Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto your parchment-lined cookie sheets. Make sure to leave plenty of space between each one, as these cookies love to spread!
- Watch Them Get Lacy: Bake for approximately 6 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully golden brown and have developed their characteristic lacy appearance.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to firm up. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These delicate, chewy cookies are incredibly easy to make and wonderfully delicious!
