Step 1

Heat the oven to 350 F (170C). Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. With an electric beater, beat the butter and sugars until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. Set the mixture aside.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon using a large spoon or fork. Make sure the mixture is well combined.

Step 5

With a large, sturdy spoon, mix the butter-sugar mixture into the oat-flour mixture until just combined.

Step 6

Add the chocolate chips and continue to gently stir the ingredients to combine them well.

Step 7

Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn slightly brown. (Bake a little less for soft cookies, and a little longer for crisp cookies.)
