Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour 120g
1/2 tsp baking soda 3g
1/2 tsp salt 5g
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature, 113g
1/3 cup granulated sugar 65g
2/3 cup light-brown sugar 140g, packed
2 tsp pure vanilla extract 10mL
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups rolled oats 135g
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 150g

(can add raisins & chopped nuts too)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda & salt; set aside.
2. Combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
3. Reduce speed to low; add vanilla & eggs. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute.
4. Add flour mixture; mix until almost combined.
5. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips (together with optional raisins & chopped nuts). Chill dough for 2 hours to overnight.
6. Preheat oven to 200°C. 
7. Use a small ice cream scooper (two tablespoons) to drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, 12 minutes.
9. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
