Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips (feel free to substitute or add mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or M&Ms)

Instructions
 

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Whisk these ingredients together until evenly distributed, then set aside.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to cream the softened unsalted butter with the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes or until it becomes light and fluffy.

      Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined, ensuring that everything is fully integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed. Blend the two mixtures until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies remain tender.

          Fold in Mix-Ins: With a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips or any other chosen mix-ins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Form Dough Chunks: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous chunks of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is at least 2 inches of space between each chunk for spreading.

              Freeze: Place the baking sheet into the freezer for 1-2 hours or until the dough chunks are firm to the touch.

                Store: After freezing, transfer the dough chunks into a labeled freezer-safe bag or container, marking the date. These can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months without compromising taste.

                  Bake from Frozen: When you’re ready to enjoy freshly baked cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the desired number of frozen dough chunks on the sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Enjoy them warm out of the oven!
