Make Cookie Dough: With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and light. Mix in eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, rolled oats, and 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Add remaining chocolate chips.

Bake: Press cookie dough into greased pan with parchment paper then bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely before cutting and serving with a cut and serve turner.
