Ingredients:

2 cups of butter
2 cups of white sugar
2 cups of brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
4 cups of all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in all of the bags of chips and nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
This recipe yields a generous batch of cookies, but if needed, it can be halved for a smaller yield.
And remember, these cookies freeze beautifully, so feel free to make a big batch and save some for later enjoyment!
