Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
2 cups brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups old fashioned oats

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and brown sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Beat in vanilla extract until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add flour mixture to wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, about one minute.
Stir in old fashioned oats until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best results
Don't overbake - cookies continue cooking on hot pan after removal
Store in airtight container for up to 1 week
Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months
For perfectly round cookies, gently swirl a glass over hot cookies immediately after baking
