Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (120 g) raisins
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) chopped walnuts, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously as it melts, then starts to foam and turns a light brown color with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and pour into a bowl to cool slightly (~10 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup (150 g) light brown sugar and 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar. Add the browned butter and mix until smooth and combined.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg (room temperature) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats, 3/4 cup (120 g) raisins, and 3/4 cup (75 g) chopped toasted walnuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes (optional but recommended).
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best chewy texture; quick oats will make softer cookies. Toast walnuts for extra crunch and flavor. Chill dough to prevent spreading and enhance flavor. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking. For nut allergies, substitute walnuts with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. For dairy-free, use browned coconut oil and flax egg.
