Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups pecans chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F.
In an electric mixer cream butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together until it is light and fluffy. This can take a couple minutes.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Beat in eggs, and vanilla until the eggs are very well incorporated.
2 whole eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add in the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda until well incorporated.
1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 cups old fashioned oats, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Fold in chocolate chips and pecan if you are using them.
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips, 1 1/2 cups pecans
Spread in to a 15x10 inch pan for thinner bars, or a 13x9 for the bars shown in the pictures.
Bake for 18-20 minutes for thin, closer to 35 minutes for thick. They will be golden brown, completely set and you can insert a toothpick to get mostly just crumbs to know they are done.
Remove from the oven, and let cool before slicing.
