Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup (220g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (75g) ground graham crackers
  • 1 1/2 cups (198g) all purpose flour
  • 1 cup (100g) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (150g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scatter walnuts and bake for 8-10 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until amber and frothy.
  4. Cool brown butter in the refrigerator.
  5. Toast ground graham crackers in the saucepan for about 5 minutes.
  6. Chop roasted walnuts and set aside with toasted graham crackers.
  7. Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  8. Whisk sugars and cooled brown butter in a large mixing bowl.

Notes

– Don’t rush the browning of the butter; it should turn a rich amber color and smell nutty, not burnt. I’ve found that keeping the heat at a steady medium and stirring constantly prevents scorching.
– Toasting the graham crackers intensifies their flavor significantly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
– Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze the dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cook time.
