Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Add vanilla and egg and beat to combine. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake cookies until puffed and golden around edges, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
Fabulous recipe! Take it up another notch - Add about 1 C of Kraft Caramel Bits (usually in the baking aisle and resemble chocolate chips but made of caramel) and you have a cookie to die for! My favorite cookie at Great Harvest Bread Co.(which is only available in September) is an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, pecans & caramel pieces, and now I can enjoy that taste all year round. Thanks Martha!
Awesome recipe, thanks again Martha! I add the pecans or walnuts, did the half dark and half milk choco chip mix and used dried cherries. The best! Love these.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!
I didn't put quite the full cup of toasted pecans prescribed, but added in some golden raisins and perhaps just a FEW more choc chips more than was called for. Did 1/2 bittersweet and 1/2 milk chips.
These cookies are truly wonderful.
Try having JUST ONE. :)
