Description
Delicious cookies made with brown butter and Irish rolled oats for a rich flavor and chewy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Brown Butter (Deep caramel flavor, ensure browned for best results.)
- 2 cups Irish Rolled Oats (Use authentic brands like McCann’s.)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Sweetens and helps create chewy texture.)
- 1 cup Brown Sugar (Enhances moisture and sweetness.)
- 2 large Eggs (Room temperature for best blending.)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Use pure vanilla for richer flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Acts as a leavening agent.)
- 1 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt (To sprinkle on top.)
- 2 tablespoons Optional Irish Cream (For added richness.)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring continuously until it reaches a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm brown butter with both granulated and brown sugars, blend until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk together Irish rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a baking sheet, flatten slightly, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden, and centers appear underbaked.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps in blending the ingredients effectively.
- Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up while cooling.
- Optional: Add chocolate chips for an extra treat!
