General Directions:
- Add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to mixing bowl. Using stand mixer or hand held beater, beat on medium until fully combined – light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla, egg, and cinnamon. Beat on low until well mixed (~1 minute).
- Add flour and baking soda. Beat on lowest setting until just combined.
- Add oats and chocolate chips. Beat on lowest setting or stir to combine.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Chill dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use small ice cream scooper (2 tablespoons) or large spoon (will need to roll balls) to form cookies. Add dough balls to baking sheets ~2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies are done when edges are golden brown but still soft in the center.
- Remove from over and let cool 1-2 minutes. Then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
