For the cookie dough

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. In another bowl, combine your flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the old-fashioned oats gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes

To keep your cookies fresh longer, store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them properly to avoid freezer burn. Don't overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients for a tender texture.
