Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  • Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon or 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.

  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

  5. Combine: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in oats, then fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.

  6. Scoop dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

  7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers look just set.

  8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.

  • Swap chocolate chips for raisins if you’re a classic oatmeal cookie fan.

  • These freeze great both as dough and after baking.
