Step 1

Preheat oven to 365°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In the bowl of a mixer (or you can mix it by hand), cream together butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Once creamy and fluffy, beat in eggs until blended.

Step 3

Add flour, baking soda and salt to bowl. Stir just enough to mix the dry ingredients, then mix into the butter mixture until just combined.

Step 4

Fold in oats until combined; then fold in chocolate chips.

Step 5

Scoop onto cookie sheet (1 ½ tablespoons each), leaving some space between each cookie.

Step 6

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until golden brown but still slightly soft in the middle. Cool on cookie sheet for five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
