Ingredients
  

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (or nuts/dried fruit of your choice)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon. Whisk together until evenly mixed and set aside.

    Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips (and any other mix-ins you like).

          Form Dough Chunks: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can flatten them slightly if you prefer chunkier pieces.

            Freeze Dough: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the dough chunks are completely frozen.

              Store Chunks: Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough chunks to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Label with the date and store in the freezer for up to three months.

                Bake as Needed: When you are ready to enjoy, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the desired number of frozen dough chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown at the edges but still soft in the center.
