Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g. walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup dried fruit (e.g. raisins, cranberries, or apricots)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruit until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
