Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them to ensure easy removal of the cookies after baking.
-
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set this mixture aside.
-
Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and light in texture. This should take about 2 minutes.
-
Add the egg to the butter and sugar mixture and continue mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) by hand, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
-
Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 teaspoon each) onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading while baking.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
-
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve and enjoy these chewy, flavorful cookies with a glass of milk or just as a delightful treat on their own!
