Description
Delightful cookies with crunchy pecans, chewy oats, and rich chocolate, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter and both sugars together for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and pecans until evenly distributed.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, do not over-bake. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
