Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup dried blueberries
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the oats, dried blueberries, dark chocolate chips, and pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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