Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup brown sugar, packed

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 cups rolled oats

• 1 cup chocolate chips

• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just blended.

4. Add Oats and Chocolate: Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips (and nuts if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
