Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and chopped walnuts using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop out cookie dough using a tablespoon and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies with a glass of milk, coffee, or as a delightful snack any time of day!
