Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars together until creamy.
Mix in the vanilla and the eggs and beat until blended.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, quick oats, baking soda, and salt.
Add the oat mixture into the butter mixture and beat on low until combined.
Stir the chocolate chips into the cookie dough making sure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a #30 cookie scoop, (roughly 2 tablespoons of dough) scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press extra chocolate chips into the cookies if desired before baking.
Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes. Avoid overbaking if a soft and chewy cookie is desired.
These cookies hold their shape, take the back of a spoon and press gently into the tops of the cookies to flatten them out a bit.
Allow these cookies to cool for 10 minutes before moving them. These cookies will be very soft out of the oven.
Notes
You can use old fashioned oats in place of the quick oats. Add the old fashioned oats to a food processor to break dow the oats.
