- Sprinkle a light dusting of sea salt on the chocolate drizzle to enhance the flavors.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of unsalted butter (2 sticks), browned and cooled
- 1 1/4 cups of dark sugar
- 2 sizeable eggs
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 2 cups of traditional rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 cups of chocolate pieces
- A sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. On a stovetop, warm the butter over a medium flame for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to brown and emit a fragrant aroma. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, dark sugar, and vanilla essence. Incorporate the eggs until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the plain flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate pieces until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Shape the dough into 3-ounce portions (this should yield about 14 cookies) and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges yet remain soft and gooey in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before indulging.
Enjoy!
