• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

 Directions:

1. Preheat Oven & 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 bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
   Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.

5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6. Add Oats and Chocolate Chips:
   Stir in the rolled oats and semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheets:
   Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

9. Cool:
   Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
