Ingredients
3 cups 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
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just a few streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips gently.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to intensify flavor and prevent excess spreading.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
Notes
Ensure butter is at room temperature for optimal aeration. Spoon and level the flour to avoid packing, which can make cookies dry. Chilling the dough is crucial for the best flavor and texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
