Pinterest challenge: berry, chocolate and oat cookies

I wanted to bake some cookies to be send to our aunt as a thank you gesture (I really hope she have received them already). This recipe from Lady and Pups  have been perfect. I used mixed berries instead of blueberries as I had them. I particularly loved the idea of browning butter for it. This was my first time doing it!! I think it gives a nice rich flavour to any cookie (almost any!). BERRY AND CHOCOLATE OAT COOKIES adopted from Lady and Pups

• 1/2 cup (1 stick/113 grams) of unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup (71 grams) of granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup (63 grams) of dark brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (101 grams) of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp of baking soda
• 1 1/2 cup (136 grams) of quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 heaping cup (85 grams) of chopped semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 cup (125 grams) of frozen berries

1. Melt the unsalted butter in a small pot over medium heat, and continue to cook for approx 5 min until the butter has turned clear and the milk solids are browned.  Pour the browned butter into a large bowl and let cool slightly for 5 min

2. add the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar into the browned butter and whisk until smoothly combined.  Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until thick and velvety.  Sift the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon and baking soda right into the bowl, then whisk again until smooth

3. Switch from the whisk to a spatula, then add the quick-cooking oats and chopped dark chocolate.  Fold the mixture until evenly incorporated. 4. Add the frozen blueberries and fold again until even.  The cookie-dough will instantly firm-up as the frozen blueberries are mixed in.5. Scoop about 1 1/2 tbsp of cookie-dough onto a parchment-lined baking-sheet, with about 1″ of space in between each.  The dough should be firm enough to shape with your hands.  Make round dough-ball for a taller/thicker cookie, or press it down into a disk for a thinner cookie6. Bake in the preheated 180C oven for 12-13 min, until the edges are set and the centre is slightly soft. Let it cool for 10 min before transferring onto cooling rack Enjoy!
