Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer (optional, but helpful for creaming butter and sugar)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Spoon or cookie scoop
- Cooling rack (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 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
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for an extra flavor boost
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 1 cup salted butter, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the optional 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
