How to Make As Big As A Plate Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 2 cups chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins!), and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
7. Grease two large baking sheets. Spoon 1/2 cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 6 inches between each cookie and 2 1/2 inches from the edges of the sheets.
8. Grease the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Dip it in 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Use the pie plate to gently flatten each cookie into a 5-inch circle.
9. Lightly press the cookies with your fingers to ensure even thickness.
10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
