Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) by hand, using a wooden spoon or a spatula.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
