Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, stirring in oats.
