Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Oatmeal Chippers! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
