The browned butter can be cooled but still liquid (that’s totally fine) or cooled to solid but pliable (also great).Īdd softened butter along with granulated and brown sugar to the oatmeal cookie dough. Start by browning butter and cooling it to room temperature.

Optionally you can add finely chopped pecans and butterscotch chips.
