Brown Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These best brown butter oatmeal raisin cookies are sweet and chewy and so full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 140 g unsalted butter
- 7 g milk powder optional
- 100 g soft brown sugar
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 125 g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 120 g rolled oats
- 120 g raisins
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Avoid using a dark pan, as you will struggle to see the caramelization of the butter and run the risk of burning it.
- Once the butter melts, let it cook for around 3-4 minutes, regularly whisking.
- Once it starts to foam, add in milk powder and whisk until it browns into a deep amber color and smells nutty and caramel-like.
- Pour the melted butter, including all the caramelized brown bits at the bottom of the pan, into a large heat-proof bowl and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- In a small separate bowl, whisk the flour, rolled oats, salt, and baking soda. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, followed by the raisins.
- Let the dough sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Roll a tablespoon and a half of dough per cookie into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls around 2 inches/ 5 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still a little soft. Use a large round cookie cutter to scoot around the baked cookies to push them into even circles.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before placing them on a wire rack to cool further.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or the baked cookies can be frozen for up to three months.
