Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

½ teaspoon salt

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Fold in oats and chocolate chips with a spatula.
  6. Chill dough in the fridge for 30–60 minutes for best results.
  7. Scoop dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly underdone.
  9. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
