Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried fruit until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
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.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
