Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c old fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
• 1/2 c all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp butter, room temperature (slightly more than 1/3 cup)
• 1/2 c packed dk-brown sugar
• 1/4 c granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (I omit)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• pecans (crushed or chopped)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend together oats, flour (& raisins / cranberries if omitting chocolate), baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, cinnamon and vanilla; beat until combined. Gradually add oat mixture; beat until combined.

Stir chocolate chips and pecans into dough. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto two baking sheets.

Bake until cookies are golden brown but still soft, 12-16 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely
