Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted European Style Brown Butter(I used Danish Creamery)
- 1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Packed Brown Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 Large Egg (Room Temp)
- 1 Tbsp Packed Lemon Zest
- 1/2 Tsp Lemon Extract
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
- 1 Cup of All Purpose Flour(Spoon & Leveled)
- 1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp Old Fashioned Oatmeal
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 Tsp Salt

Lemon Icing
Instructions
Make sure your eggs are room temperature and this dough will come together beautifully!
- Begin by cutting butter into cubes. Next, In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
- Once your butter has cooled completely and has thickened just a bit Preheat oven to 350F
- In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
- Add egg, lemon zest, lemon extract and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Add chocolate chips and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
- Cookies need to be baked right away the dough does not store well.
- Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
- Once the cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
- Allow the cookies to cool a bit and make the icing by adding all the ingredients together and mixing until combined.
- Drizzle to your liking.
- Enjoy!
TIPS
- This cookie dough CANNOT be made in advanced in needs to be baked right away it does not store well.
- Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
- Baked cookies can be stored in the fridge in a tight container for 3-5 days and can be heated in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds depending on the heat of your microwave to enjoy later.
