Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the oats and chocolate chips evenly.
Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place on baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
