Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins
 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 1/2 tsp baking soda
 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
 3/4 cup light brown sugar
 1 large egg
 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Prepare a cookie sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

2

Place the butter in a small saucepan and melt over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan often. The butter will foam and then it will make popping and cracking sounds. Watch carefully, when it is nearly done making sounds it will start to form brown bits. Cook for another minute or so then pour the butter into a heat proof bowl to cool a bit.

3

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl, with a spatula mix together the brown butter and brown sugar until well combined. Mix in the egg and the vanilla. Mix the dry mixture into the wet in 3 additions until well combined. Transfer to a clean work surface and combine the cookie dough with lightly floured hands. Fold in the chocolate chips.

4

Place large scoops (3 tablespoons) of dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 17-19 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden brown. Transfer to racks to cool.
