Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

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, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take 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 flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Gently fold in the oats and chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly undercooked.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
