These Marry Me cookies are impossible to resist! Made with chocolate chips, oats, cinnamon, and brown butter, they're a rich, decadent treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat until foamy. Stir constantly and cook until it’s brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown and white sugars. Add the browned butter and whisk it by hand until blended and smooth. Place the bowl in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    When the brown butter and sugars have cooled, add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla and whisk well until fully combined.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, stir the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to distribute the ingredients evenly.

  5. 5

    Add half of the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until it's mostly combined. Then, add the rest of the dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using), and stir until it's just combined.

  6. 6

    Portion the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon balls. Arrange them on one parchment-lined baking sheet (without spacing), cover with plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160°C) and line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.

  8. 8

    Divide the firm cookie dough balls between the 2 sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each one. For thicker cookies, leave them as is. For thinner cookies, flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.

  9. 9

    Let the cookies cool on the baking trays until they're firm enough to move. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
