Preheat oven to 350º F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon baking mats. Stir together dry ingredients of flour, oats, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter then add sugars and mix until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until well-combined. Add flour, oats, salt, and baking soda to butter mixture. Mix well and then stir in chocolate chips. Scoop chocolate chip cookie dough onto a cookie sheet spacing well apart to allow room for the cookie to spread lightly. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Optional: sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt onto cookies right out of the oven while still warm.
