Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup browned butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s
  • 1/2 cup oats

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt and continue cooking until it turns golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Combine Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate and M&M’s: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, M&M’s, and oats until the batter is thick.
  6. Chill the Dough (Optional): Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  7. Preheat the Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Scoop and Bake: Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop mounds of dough onto the sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For a fun twist, consider adding nuts or a swirl of nut butter. These cookies can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
