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. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  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.
  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.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies with more defined edges, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use old-fashioned oats rather than quick oats for the best texture. Ensure butter is properly softened - it should give slightly when pressed but still hold its shape. Don't overbake - cookies will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
