Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. -
Cream the butter and sugars:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). -
Add eggs and vanilla:
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. -
Combine dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. -
Mix the dough:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be sure not to overmix. -
Add oats and chocolate chips:
Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. -
Scoop the dough:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. -
Bake the cookies:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. For chewier cookies, bake on the shorter end of the time range. -
Cool the cookies:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- For a twist, you can add raisins or nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, you can bake them a little longer.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
