How to Make Wonderful Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 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. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and ½ cup chocolate chips (or your choice of add-ins).
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball with a fork.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
