Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tsp chai spice blend (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves)
For Maple Glaze: 1/4 cup pure maple syrup + 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar; beat until creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, and chai spice blend. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough onto baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
Prepare the maple glaze by whisking maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies before serving.
