Ingredients

2 cups packed dark brown sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3 cups old-fashioned oats

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat together the brown sugar and butter until it’s fluffy. Stir in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl after each one.

Mix together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add it into the creamed mixture in 2 to 3 batches, mixing until just combined. Mix in the oats until just combined.

Use your preferred size cookie scoop (or a regular spoon) to drop portions of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart. Bake until dark and chewy, 12 to 13 minutes. If you'd like a crispier cookie, just cook a little longer!

Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer onto a plate for serving.

Notes

Add 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts to the flour mixture if you'd like a nutty flavor and crunch.
