1/2cupgranulated white sugar
1cupfirmly packed light brown sugar
2eggs
1Tbsp.vanilla extract
1 1/2cupsall-purpose flour
2cupsold-fashioned rolled oats
1tsp.baking soda

1bag 10oz-11oz favorite baking chips or M&Ms

Instructions
Put the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. As the butter starts to melt swirl it occasionally to combine. When it is melted start to watch constantly - it can burn in moments. The butter will begin to boil and foam before it turns golden brown. As it cooks little brown bits will form. When the butter is golden brown and smells a little nutty / like caramel it is ready.
Transfer the butter to a small bowl right away so the cooking will stop. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before starting the cookie dough.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Add the white and brown sugar to a stand mixer. When the butter has cooled for 5 minutes, add it also and beat with a paddle until well combined.
Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Add flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Beat until creamy. Add both kinds of chocolate and beat on low until incorporated.
Use a 1oz cookie scoop to make balls. Place on baking sheets and bake until the edges are starting to turn golden and the tops are set. 9-11 minutes.
