Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups chocolate chunks
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 cup rolled oats

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, and rolled oats with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy with your family! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
