Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix in well. Beat in the eggs, one at a time mixing well after each addition.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir in until it's combined, about one minute. Mix in the oats and stir in until combined.
  • Drop the cookie dough by mounds on the cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake between 11 - 13 minutes until they are still soft and going golden at the edges.
  • Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool. Repeat for all cookies.
