Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (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 until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6
Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and optional nuts (if using) with a spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop the dough using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon and drop it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy!
