Browned Butter Oatmeal Cookie Cups

I loaded these cookie cups up with chocolate chips, but peanut butter chips would be great, too! I baked these for 12 minutes exactly which left them slightly gooey in the center. Bake an extra minute if you'd like them more firm.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream milk works too!
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips I used milk, but any kind will work

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
  • In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking butter over low heat, whisking often, until the butter has turned a deep golden brown. Remove from the heat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the melted butter and brown sugar. Beat in the cream, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough out into the muffin tins. Fill each muffin tin nearly to the top.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes in the muffin tin before running a knife around the edges of the cookie cups and removing from the muffin tin.
  • Store in an airtight container.
