Step-by-Step Instructions for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
