These oatmeal cookies use a sophisticated ingredient: brown butter. It's actually regular butter fried until golden brown. When heated, the liquid evaporates, and the milk solids darken. This makes the milk fat shelf-stable. Brown butter is used as a sauce for pasta dishes, for example, for gnocchi, and it's used to make fish sauce. But its most distinctive feature is its hazelnut flavor. Its preparation requires special attention, as it's easy to overcook the butter and it will simply burn. Combined with dark sugar, whole-wheat flour, and cinnamon, this ingredient transforms ordinary oatmeal cookies.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until bubbling subsides and the butter turns brown, about 5 minutes. Strain the butter through a coffee filter and cool to room temperature.
- Beat the brown butter, dark and regular sugars, egg, and vanilla together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
- Combine the contents of both bowls. Stir in your chosen filling (chocolate chips, raisins, walnuts, and/or coconut).
- Using a spoon, drop the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven for about 12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them from the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
