Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.
6. Fold in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Do not overbake the cookies. Pull them from the oven when the centers still look slightly soft, because they will continue to set on the baking sheet and stay perfectly chewy.
