I'll admit this is not my recipe but I've made it so many times that it feels like mine. Actually, this is my husband's recipe that he adapted from a Quaker Oats recipe long ago (and I do mean long ago, like from his bachelor days). We love these cookies and I'm sure you will too. They're pretty hard to mess up. Enjoy!
The Best Ever Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
2 ½ sticks butter or margarine (softened)
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
½ c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 c. (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) Oats
3/4 c. roughly chopped pecan pieces
12 oz. chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Beat margarine and sugars until fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla and beat. Add combined flour, soda, and spices. Mix well. Stir in oats, pecans and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until just set for chewy cookies (you WANT chewy, people!). Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer for crispy cookies.
Cool for 1 minute before moving them to a plate if you can stop yourself from eating the whole pan right away.
Store very tightly covered, if there are any left to store.
This recipe makes about 3-4 dozen. But they won’t last so you might as well make some more!
