I got this recipe from a friend and have made them a few times. I think what sets them apart is the brown butter, the oats (some blended, some not) and the baking time and temp which gives them a great texture! Makes about 3 1/2 dozen, although I have doubled it and put them in the freezer to bake later. I have a few other notes I'll add at the end.
1 c. butter (1/4 c. browned and 3/4 c. softened)
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
2 1/2 c. oatmeal (blend 1 1/2 c. in the blender, leave the other cup as whole oats)
1/2 c. dark chocolate chips
1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
Preheat over to 405 degrees.
Brown 1/4 c. butter until the brown bits start to form and it smells amazing! Let it cool. Cream the other 3/4 c. butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and mix (I like to save the whole oats until after I've blended the other dry ingredients with the wet). Lightly mix in the oats. Mix in the cooled browned butter. Add all the chips.
With medium sized cookie scoop, place cookie balls on a greased or parchment paper lined pan. Bake for 6-7 minutes.
The lady I got the recipe from likes to do a few things after they come out of the oven: brush with melted butter, sprinkle with a little salt and squish them up to make them nice and round. I tried that the first time, but then didn't bother anymore.
My notes: I have made them with kamut flour. Always fill 1 c. measuring cup slightly under the top when using kamut instead of white flour. Also, any chips will do. I've done all the combinations and usually use what I have. A side note for posterity. Zackery doesn't like butterscotch chips. Says they're much better without:)
