Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Add oats and chocolate chips: Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
-
Scoop dough: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
-
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-
For a different twist, you can add raisins, nuts (like walnuts or pecans), or even coconut flakes.
-
If you prefer a softer cookie, underbake them slightly and let them set as they cool.
