How to Make Aunt Myrna's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  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 and 2 cups chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for at least 10 minutes (this allows the oats to soften and enhances the texture).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8 minutes on the bottom rack, then move the baking sheets to the top rack and bake for another 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
