Ingredients

½ cup salted butter, softened
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups rolled oats, old-fashioned, quick-cooking rolled oats used here
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup mini chocolate chips
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
Beat eggs and vanilla extract into the butter/sugar mixture until the batter is fluffy.
In a small bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to combine fully.
Mix in all of the chocolate chips.
Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Scoop chilled cookie dough with a medium cookie scoop and space dough 1½ inches apart on prepared cookie sheets
Press the dough down just slightly on the top. The cookies will not spread or change shape too much during cooking, but pressing them down a bit will help them cook evenly and form a nice shape.
Bake for about 10 minutes until cookies are set in the center.
Cool for 2 to 3 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove to a cooling rack to cool.
Serve warm or cool.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs to help ingredients incorporate together better.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes to an hour can help the cookies hold their shape while baking if you want them to be thicker instead of flatter.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
