I saw I Want To Marry You Cookies a few weeks back over on Chris's blog The Cafe Sucre Farine and I knew I had to try them. I mean who can resist making cookies filled with semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, oatmeal and pecans in a buttery chocolate chip cookie?
When LJ was asking to make cookies I thought it would be the perfect excuse to make I Want To Marry You Cookies and tease him that we need to work on his cookie making skills because someday when he meets the right girl he'll need to make her I Want To Marry You Cookies to win her over.
We browned the butter a bit in these cookies even though the original recipe doesn't call for it, because everything taste better with brown butter, and tweaked the recipe slightly using a few tricks from Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies.
If you like white and dark chocolate, oatmeal and just a hint of cinnamon these cookies are for you.
They are amazing!
In a medium sized sauce pan brown 3/4 cup butter until light brown and nutty smelling.
Add brown butter to mixer along with remaining 1/4 cup cold butter. Mix on low speed until butter is melted.
Be warned once you consume brown butter cookies your life will be altered forever!
Add both sugars and vanilla.
Mix until until well combined. Scrape the sides of bowl as needed.
Mix one whole egg and 1 egg yolk.
Add egg to sugar mixture while mixing on medium low speed.
Beat on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Allow to rest for 3 minutes and beat on medium-high speed for another 30 seconds. Repeat until batter is thick and pale yellow.
This usually happens by the second 30 second beating.
Add salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix on medium-high speed until well combined.
Add flour and rolled oats.
Mix until well combined.
Add semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and nuts if using. Mix until well combined.
Roll into medium sized balls onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet.
If your in the mood you can add extra chocolate chips and nuts. LJ made a smiley face for me, love that kid!
Freeze cookie dough for 10 minutes and bake in a 325 degree oven for 14-18 minutes until lightly brown around the edges.
Note: We tried baking a batch of cookies without freezing and found the cookies where a little more crispy on the edges and soft in the center when frozen. The dough freezes well and could be frozen to have small batches of fresh baked cookies for later.
These are the perfect cookies to go with a large glass of milk.
Or to snack on by themselves.
Someday some lucky girl will feel blessed to receive a box of cookies from my son but I gave him a fair warning he can't just go sharing these cookies with just any girl on the play ground.

I love the white and dark chocolate combo! I understand completely where these got their name ;) The extra hint of cinnamon sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the name! So funny. These sound super yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh Serena, these look wonderful. I'm ready to crank up my oven and re-visit this recipe. It's so funny when you blog and are always onto something new, how easy it is to forget about wonderful recipes. Thanks for the reminder! Your photos are fantastic. Thanks for the link :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cookies, Serena! I've been craving chocolate chip cookies after I had the flu. For days, it was all I could think of! But, recipe testing for brownies took the edge off. ;) Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I totally want to try them! Thanks for sharing. #SITSBlogging
ReplyDeleteWe had a cookie contest at work today. I have never made homemade cookies in my life. I decided to try these. I won $200. These are absolutely amazing. I didn't put the walnuts in because of possible allergies. - Joni Bowen
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. How many cookies does this make?
ReplyDeleteHi, About 36 cookies. Thanks, Serena
DeleteThe dough was very crumbly. I finally added some butter and water for the last batch. Won’t make them again.
