Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 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
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or raisins optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the old-fashioned oats and any optional chocolate chips or raisins.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

Notes

For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
