Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden.

Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Allow cookies to cool completely before serving.
