Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • Walnuts to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla:
    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Combine dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, baking powder, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Add oats and mix-ins:
    • Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using).
  • Scoop and bake:
    • Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
    • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
  • Cool and enjoy:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra texture, try adding coconut flakes or dried fruit.
  • These cookies freeze well—store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
