Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2  cups oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp  baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp  salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2  cups  semi-sweet chocolate chips
  •  1  cup  chopped walnuts or pecans

Method
 

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. 
  3. Crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth. 
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. 
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats and chocolate chips. If you’re adding nuts, this is the time to toss them in.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each for spreading.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  9. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack

Notes

Softened butter is key for creaming with the sugars—it traps air, giving you lighter, chewier cookies. If your butter is too cold, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before starting.
