My Bakery-Style Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie has a perfectly crispy-caramelized exterior, a chewy-buttery interior, and is bursting with gooey chocolate chips! This recipe is simple to make, stress-free, and effortlessly delicious. With the irresistible nutty flavour of brown butter, these cookies are hard to beat!
Brown Butter: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Swirl pan every 30 seconds until butter begins to sizzle. Reduce heat to low. Continue swirling for ~3 minutes or until melted butter becomes foamy, makes popping sounds, and begins to take on a nutty aroma! Mixture will begin to turn golden brown and have brown flakes interspersed. Using a wooden spoon or spatula stir butter, lift browned butter bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to cool. In the meantime, move onto step 2.
Preheat oven to 350F (325F if using convection bake). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. (This process aerates and sifts the dry ingredients!) Set aside.
Using a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together sugars (brown and granulated) with melted brown butter.
Add in egg and vanilla extract. Stir until combined and scrape sides of bowl once more to incorporate all the batter.
Slowly add flour mixture to the wet butter/sugar/egg mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
Add oats and chocolate chips to the batter. Stir until combined.
Roll dough into 2 tbsp balls and set on baking sheet.
Place cookies onto baking sheet, spaced 2" apart. Bake cookies at 350F for 15 min or until the edges are golden brown.
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on baking pan before transferring to rack to cool completely.

Sofia’s Tips:
Savour that warm, nutty brown butter aroma and don’t forget to scrape all those flavourful, brown, flaky butter bits into your batter!
To measure flour correctly:Use a spoon to scoop flour into your measuring cup! This ensures you don’t add too much flour to these cookies and end up with dry cookies
The cookies will continue to crack as they cool!
After rolling into balls, these cookies can be put into a freezer safe bag and stored in the freezer for up to 6 months!! Perfect for your late night oatmeal chocolate chip cookie snacking needs
