  • 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 🧂
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌰
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 🌾
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips 🍫

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  1. Cream the butter and sugars:
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  1. Add eggs and vanilla:
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  1. Mix dry ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  1. Combine wet and dry ingredients:
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
  1. Add oats and chocolate chips:
  • Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

2. Bake the Cookies:

  1. Scoop the dough:
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
  1. Cool:
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Customize: Add chopped nuts, raisins, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
