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 rolled 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 mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir 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 mix just until combined.
6. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
8. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps keep the cookies thick and extra chewy.
Do not overbake if you want a soft center because the cookies will continue setting as they cool.
For even more chocolate in every bite, reserve a few chocolate chips to press on top before baking.
