My mom recently sent me this recipe for Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies that she pulled from her Cooking Light magazine. I made them last night and thought I'd share the recipe too.
The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside with a good buttery/oatmeal flavor. I also liked the flavor of the pecans instead of the usual walnuts. I'm still not sure if they are my favorite oatmeal cookie, but I would probably make them again - they probably just need more butter and sugar! lol
Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup regular oats
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate minichips (or regular will work too)
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring with a whisk, set aside.
3. Place sugars and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add vanilla and egg; beat until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed just until combined. Stir in pecans and chips.
4. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls (or small scoop) 2 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool on wire racks. Yield: 3 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)
