Ingredients

Instructions

In a bowl attached to a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually add dry ingredients to butter mixture until just combined. Add in oats (either by hand or with mixer on low) until just combined.
Cover mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop (or roll with hands), scoop out 2 Tbsp of dough on cookie sheet. Press dough down slightly with the back of the scoop or your hands. Be sure to spread the cookie balls out about 2 1/2″ on sheet (you’ll have about 8 or 9 on each sheet).
Bake one sheet at a time on middle rack of oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and set on edges but still a little moist-looking in middle (they’ll continue to bake on pan as they cool). Remove from oven and let set on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes then place on wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
