Oatmeal Cookies Without Brown Sugar
Craving a chewy cookie but don't have any brown sugar on hand? No problem! These oatmeal cookies skip the brown sugar and still deliver big on flavor. They're toasty from brown butter and full of warm spices.
Ingredients
- 90 grams unsalted butter
- 10 grams milk powder
- 90 grams rolled oats
- 70 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 40 grams dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 40 grams raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter at medium heat.
- Add milk powder and oatmeal. Mix constantly, and continue cooking until the butter browns. The mixture will look foamy (no longer bubbly), and there will be small golden brown flecks of milk solids.
- Transfer the butter mixture to a large heatproof bowl.
- Add sugar and mix until combined.
- Add egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, espresso and salt. Mix until combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, chocolate and raisins. Mix until just combined. There will be no more visible flour streaks.
- Scoop cookies with a 1.5 tbsp scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) around each cookie. Flatten until around 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie goes from looking glossy and wet to dry and matte in the center.
