Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and both sugars on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat just until combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Chill the dough for at least two hours, or overnight for best results.
Using a 1 1/2 inch scoop, pack the dough in the scoop and place rounded balls of dough on the parchment lined baking sheet about two inches apart, 12 cookies per sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are slightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat once more with remaining cookie dough. Recipe makes 24 cookies.
