Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened 
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt (if you are using unsalted butter)
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
 
1) Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2) In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
3) Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These are our favorite cookies, just chewy enough and not too much Chocolate that they are overpowered. And they are very, very easy to make. Plus with such a simple recipe it’s open to changing. Like white chocolate chips and dried cranberries? Go for it, you can put in M&M's, pull out some raisins and cinnamon, or even peanut butter.
