Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
• Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
