Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick or instant oats)
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 2 minutes using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, then beat again, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing again until combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips, then use a large cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough and space them a few inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, until brown around the edges but the middle still looks slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set up as they cool, but underbaking helps them stay soft and chewy.

Notes

  • Storing & Freezing: Unbaked cookie dough will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or it can be frozen for up to 4 months. Baked cooked will keep in an airtight container on the counter for about 5 days, or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
  • Cinnamon Walnut Raisin Variation: Replace the 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 cup raisins and 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. For softer raisins, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before draining and adding to the cookies dough.
  • Cranberry-White Chocolate Variation: Replace the 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 cup dried cranberries and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
