Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 - eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon dark karo syrup

How To Make brown butter oatmeal cookies

  • Step 1
    Heat a thick-bottomed skillet on medium heat. Add the sliced butter, whisking frequently. Continue to cook the butter. Once melted the butter will foam up a bit, then subside. Watch carefully as lightly browned specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan. Smell the butter; it should have a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and place on a cool surface to help stop the butter from cooking more and burning.
  • Step 2
    Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Blend well until cooled. Stir in the eggs, Karo syrup, and vanilla; Mix well.
  • Step 3
    Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well.
  • Step 4
    Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 9 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Makes 3 dozen.
