BROWN BUTTER-OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in a stainless steel saucepan (this is important so you can tell when the butter has browned.) Whisk frequently for several minutes. When you start to smell the nutty aroma of the butter browning, and see small browned bits at the bottom of the pan, immediately remove pan from heat and carefully pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, oats, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Add both sugars to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla bean paste and beat for 1 more minute. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon spring-hinged scoop, scoop out dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and allow to cool.

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

BROWN BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, swirling the pan frequently, until the butter is browned, about 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into a bowl and set aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (168 degrees C).
• Beat browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Beat one egg into the butter mixture until smooth; add second egg and vanilla extract and beat again until smooth and uniform in color.
• Mix oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; add to the browned butter mixture and stir to get a cookie dough. Stir chocolate chips into the dough. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonful onto baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

SALTED-BUTTER OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition to incorporate before adding the next. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating until just incorporated. Add oats and vanilla and beat just to combine. Fold in chocolate with a spatula.
• Turn dough out onto a work surface and flatten to a disk. Freeze 15-20 minutes to prevent dough from spreading too much as it bakes, or ideally chill 24-36 hours.
• Meanwhile, place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto prepared sheets. Bake cookies, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 12-15 minutes (cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. Let baking sheet cool completely before lining with fresh parchment and spooning on dough for third batch.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly with plastic and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
