Ingredients
- 1 C butter, softened
- 1 C granulated sugar
- 1 C brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 2 ½ C old fashioned oats
- 2 C all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 C chocolate chips
- ¾ C toasted pecans, chopped
Directions
Cream butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix until just combined. Mix in oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, salt and nutmeg. Add chocolate chips and toasted pecans and give one final mix. For each cookie, spoon out 3 ounces of dough (6 tablespoons or three standard cookie scoops if you have no kitchen scale) and roll into a large ball with your hands. Place on baking sheet. Chill for at least an hour.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° and line three baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 6 cookies on each sheet and bake 11–13 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are just set. Cool cookies on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 18 cookies.
