Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt I like to use kosher salt
  • 1/3 Cup Butter with the chill removed - take out of the fridge an hour ahead
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/4 Cup Oats the original recipe calls for rolled oats, but I use my quick oats
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans the original recipe simply calls for nuts
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips I like to use semi-sweet

Instructions

  1. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  2. Cream butter with both sugars. I find a hand mixer works best.
  3. Add egg and vanilla and beat in well.
  4. Mix in oats, nuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Add in flour mixture.
  6. Stir until combined.
  7. Use a small cookie scoop and drop by generous tablespoons onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet 2" apart.

  8. Bake 12 minutes at 375.

  9. Allow to cool on cookie sheets for at least ten minutes before removing to cooling rack or allow to cool completely on cookie sheets because they are glorious warm.

Recipe Notes

Store in an air tight container at room temperature once completely cooled.
