Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the oats and chocolate chips.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for best results.

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are slightly underbaked.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
