  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugars:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    • Stir in the oats until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. If using, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

  9. Cool and Enjoy:

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Perfect Cookies:

  • Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with the sugars.
  • Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the dough once you add the dry ingredients to ensure tender cookies.
  • Customization: Feel free to customize these cookies by adding your favorite mix-ins like raisins, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut.
