Ingredients

Dough

  • 120 g ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 70 g ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 60 g ⅓ cup, lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 g ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 140 g 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 85 g ½ cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
  • 125 g 1 cup frozen raspberries (do not thaw)

Instructions

Brown the Butter

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Let it cook for about 4–5 minutes, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. The milk solids should be toasted and amber-colored.
  2. Immediately transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Now you can go ahead and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Make the Dough

  1. Add both sugars to the brown butter and mix until combined.
  2. Stir in the egg and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
  4. Switch to a spatula and fold in the oats and chocolate.
  5. Gently fold in the frozen raspberries last. The cold berries will slightly firm up the dough — that’s good.

Shape & Bake

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop about 30 g (2 tablespoons) of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and gently flatten.
  3. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  4. Do not overbake. Brown butter oatmeal cookies continue to set as they cool.
  5. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before moving.
  6. Unless you plan to eat one warm. In that case, I support your life choices.
