Instructions
Preheat oven at 350-degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until they are light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
In another bowl, combine with flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients in with the wet, scraping the bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is mixed. Fold in the oats, stirring well to make sure they are coated.
Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to dole out dough onto baking sheet, leaving several inches of space around each; they will spread. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let set on sheet a few minutes before transferring to a rack to completely cool. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
