  • Total Time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended.
  4. Mix in oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts until just blended.
  5. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra chewy texture, avoid overbaking the cookies. They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.

To ensure even baking, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.

Feel free to substitute the semisweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference.

Adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder can enhance the flavor of these cookies.

If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or replace them with dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
