Ingredients
3 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1 cup Brown Sugar
0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs, room temperature
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 tsp Baking Soda
0.5 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin. For a deeper flavor profile, you may substitute the chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
