Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until no streaks of flour remain; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
