How to Make Big Batch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 3 cups rolled oats.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup grated milk chocolate bar (or your favorite!), and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Larger cookies may require an extra 2-3 minutes.
9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
