Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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 cup chocolate chips (or your preferred mix-ins, like nuts or dried fruit)

Instructions
 

Prep the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (or chosen mix-ins) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Form the Dough Chunks: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball to allow for freezing.

              Freeze the Dough: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours or until the dough balls are solid.

                Store for Later: Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough chunks to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. You can store them in the freezer for up to three months.

                  Bake When Ready: To bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the desired number of frozen dough chunks on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
