Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups quick oats
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the quick oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers appear slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
