  2. In a bowl, mix 1 ½ cups of Irish-style rolled oats, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. Beat cooled brown butter with ½ cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
