Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar (not packed)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 bag milk chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and noticeably paler in color.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the creamed mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently and slowly until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
Fold in the old-fashioned oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips, stirring until they are evenly scattered throughout the dough.
Using a golf-ball-sized scoop or your hands, form dough balls and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheets. For thicker, taller cookies, place the formed dough balls on a plate and freeze for 10 minutes before baking.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your oven. Remove the cookies just before the tops begin to turn golden brown. The cookies will appear slightly underdone when removed but will continue cooking on the hot sheet.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. The cookies will fully set within about 15 minutes and will be ready to enjoy.
