1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda and add to the butter mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in oats and your desired add-ins (see variations below) or make without add-ins.
