Ingredients

  • 1 ½ sticks (169g) Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup (200g) Dark Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ cup (90g) All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup (90g) Bread Flour
  • ¼ cup (20g) Rolled Oats
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 4 oz (113g) Dark Chocolate chopped
  • 3 oz (57g) Chopped Walnuts

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan, cook one stick of butter over medium heat. Stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan with a heatproof rubber spatula, until the butter begins to foam and then starts to brown. This will take about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the browned butter from the heat and allow it to cool in a separate bowl for about one minute. Cut the remaining 1/2 stick of butter into small pieces before adding to the browned butter. Stir to combine.
  • In a large bowl, mix the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined.
  • Add the whole egg and two egg yolks and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Add the vanilla extract and whisk together.
  • In a separate large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon,
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped chocolate chips and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping into 1.5 ounce dough balls. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet to prevent the edges from touching when the dough expands in the oven.
  • Bake at 375ºF for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are golden brown.
