Equipment
- 1 Hand Mixer OR Stand Mixer I love my KichenAid Hand Mixer as a more budget-friendly option, but if you're a serious baker or just want to splurge, you can't go wrong with a Classic Stand Mixer. These bad boys are not cheap, but they last forever!
- 1 Baking Sheet You also can't go wrong with a set of solid baking sheets. I love this set from Williams Sonoma, that comes with 3 different sizes!
Ingredients
- 1 Stick Salted Butter
- ⅓ Cup Brown Sugar
- ½ Cup White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg White
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla
- 1 Cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 Baking Flour
- ¾ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 ¼ Cups Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
- 1 ½ Cups Bittersweet Chocolate or Chocolate Chips if using bittersweet chocolate, be sure to roughly chop
Instructions
- To make these cookies, start by preheat your oven to 350 F.
- Next, brown the butter. Melt the butter in a small/medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and starts to smell incredible. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Just make sure to keep a close eye on it, because when the butter starts to foam up, it can go from brown to burnt in a few seconds.
- Once the butter has been browned, remove the pan from the heat, and pour the browned butter into a small bowl. Allow it to cool completely – this is important.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cooled brown butter and the sugars, and mix them until they’re fully creamed.
- Next, add in the egg, egg white and the vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Then, add in the flour, baking soda, salt, oats and chocolate, and mix until just combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop to form 12-16 cookies and line them on your baking sheet, keeping at least 2 inches of space in-between.
- Then, transfer the cookies to your oven and bake them for 8-10 minutes; if you like a soft cookie like I do, I recommend baking them for 8-9 minutes.
- Once they're done, remove them from the oven and add a touch of flaky salt, if desired.
- Let the cookies cool, then serve and enjoy!
