Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until golden brown and nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool slightly.
- Create the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat until creamy. Add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and oats until just combined.
- Chill Dough: Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake chilled dough balls for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on wire racks.
- Prepare Icing: Whisk powdered sugar with milk or cream until smooth; drizzle over cooled cookies.
