Ingredients
  

  • 170 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 250 g rolled oats
  • 100 g raisins or chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Brown the butter, cool 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk in sugars, then egg and vanilla.
  3. Sift in flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined.
  4. Fold in oats and raisins or chocolate chips.
  5. Chill dough at least 30 minutes.
  6. Roll into balls, place on lined trays.
  7. Bake at 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas 4 for 11–13 minutes.

Notes

Browning the butter adds a nutty depth that plain melted butter doesn't have.
Chilling the dough is essential for a thick, chewy result.
Both dough and baked cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.
Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant, for the best texture.
