How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Stir in 3 cups rolled oats.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 2 cups chocolate chunks and ½ cup chopped pecans.
Drop by rounded tablespoons, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Let cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
