Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
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, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it gently into the corners with a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 16 square bars.
