Brown Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies​

Ashley Manila

These are hands down the BEST Brown Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies ever! Thick, chewy, and loaded with plump raisins.

Ingredients​

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted until browned then brought back to room temperature (please see post for more on this)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 and 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant oats)
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

Instructions​

  • Preheat oven to 350 (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, cream together the browned butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides as needed. Beat in the milk and the vanilla extract until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. On low speed, gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture until just incorporated. Turn mixer off. Using a wooden spoon or strong spatula, stir the oats, raisins, and walnuts. into the cookie dough, stirring just until incorporated.
  • Scoop 2-inch balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 and 1/2 inches between so they have room to spread.
  • Bake, one sheet at a time, in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden and set at the edges and still slightly soft in the center. Repeat with all cookie dough.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes from Wigs: Tried these cookies for the first time a week ago, and they are delicious. The only thing I changed was to use 1 cup currants mixed with 1 cup golden raisins because that's what I had on hand. Recipe is from: Brown Butter Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Baker by Nature
