How to Make Chocolate Oatmeal Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl 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 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 2 cups chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or milk chocolate), and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
