Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks, at room temperature) unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 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 ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups semisweet 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 creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto 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 lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked. Be careful not to overbake for soft cookies.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pans 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 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
