I'm not going to lie to you. I made these cookies entirely because of their name.
That and their promise of on-the-spot declarations of love and/or immediate proposals of marriage. Did they work? 
Well... I just got back from a romantic weekend in Monterey, California, full of fancy hotels, aquarium dates, breakfast in bed, ocean-view dining (... and pomegranate margaritas), summery weather, walks on the beach, and sneaking chocolate chip cookie-covered candy apples in to see The Avengers... so I'll let you decide. Whether these put a diamond on my finger or whisked me away for a whirlwind weekend of romance and sandy adventures, these are without a doubt my new favorite chocolate chip cookie. 
I tested at least every last cookie a dozen cookies to fully commit to this conclusion... from scoops of oat-y delicious cookie dough to hot off the baking sheet... and cooled, dunked in milk, at midnight, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and hugging a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Basically I'm in love.They're full of white chocolate, chocolate chips, oats, and a dash of cinnamon. Who doesn't need a little bit of all that in their life? 
And they're made in one pot!Isn't that different? I love it. Since I don't have a stand mixer for creaming together butter and sugar, mixing it by hand is a serious arm workout. Here, butter and sugar is melted together on the stovetop into a rich, toffee mixture I wish I could use as a face scrub, cooled slightly, and then loaded up with all the other ingredients. No separate bowls, no extra dishes. I'd marry that.I Want to Marry You Cookies

Printable Recipe
1 cup butter1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar1/2 cup granulated sugar1 egg1 egg yolk1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 cups flour1 cup uncooked rolled oats1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon1 cup white chocolate chips1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in dark brown sugar and granulated sugar, until incorporated and smooth. Place in refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes. 
Remove from refrigerator and stir in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. 
Add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and mix together. Stir in white chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips (dough will be really thick so I found it easier to do this by hand). 
Roll by hand or use a cookie scoop to scoop out large tablespoon-sized dough balls* and place on a cooking sheet. Place in refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.*The original recipe says to scoop out 24 large bakery-sized cookies... I used my cookie scoop (with generous scoops) and got 43 regular-sized-but-still-bakey-delicious cookies. More cookies is always a good thing.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 12 chilled dough balls on sheet. Leave the rest in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake them. I flattened mine just slightly with the back of my hand before baking to make them more round than pillowy.   
Bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cool five minutes on baking sheet, then remove to counter to cool completely.
