Once the butter is melted, it will start to foam a bit, the smell will start to change to a nutty aroma, and you will start to see lightly browned specks beginning to form at the bottom of the pan. This should take about 10 minutes. Step 3: Once done, let cool slightly and place in a container and place in the fridge until solid again. Set your oven to 350 degrees. Step 4: After you’ve chilled the brown butter and toasted the nuts, you’re ready to make the cookies! for the cookies: Step 1: Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together into a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment*, beat the browned butter and sugars together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 - 6 minutes. Be sure to stop once, scraping down the sides of the bowl, to ensure all the butter is mixed in. Step 2 Next, with the mixer on low, add in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. Mix until combined. Next, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Step 3: Then add the oats, chocolate chips and toasted nuts and mix until incorporated. If you do not have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer up until the addition of the dry ingredients. Then fold in the oats, chocolate chips and nuts by hand. I used a large cookie scoop #20 . It is just shy of a ¼ cup. Step 4: Scoop your cookies onto a lined cookie sheet leaving plenty of space in between as the cookies will spread.
