Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough will be thick and hearty.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft. For chewier cookies, bake for the shorter time.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don't overmix once flour is added. For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor. Cookies can be customized with nuts or dried fruit.
