In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Add the oats and chocolate chips: Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Shape the cookies: Drop small amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure uniform size.
Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
