1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Add Oats and Chocolate Chips:
- Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using), until everything is evenly distributed.
5. Scoop and Bake:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft.
6. Cool and Enjoy:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk or on their own!
