Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and desired mix-ins until evenly distributed.
  7. Chill the dough for 30 to 60 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in a sealed container at room temperature. For best texture, add a slice of bread to keep them soft. Can freeze either baked cookies or dough balls.
