These Pecan Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Cookies are an all around great snacking cookie. You can even freeze the dough for easy baking!
I am sure these have been done a million times, but this is my first time. Because I only just found pecans! Actually I found them just before Christmas to be precise. Another new import in the local supermarket. Whenever I find things I have never seen, I always buy them. They were kind of pricey for what they were, but I thought why not!
In making these cookies this afternoon, I just adjusted a couple of my cookie recipes and ended up with this one. They are delicious. Soft and chewy on the inside and a crisp edge. The pecans definitely add an extra layer of chewiness. Also, I didn’t add as much sugar to these as I normally do as I was looking for something not to sweet. The result is still a great cookie. I am sure they will keep a few days in an airtight container just like the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies that I make.
When these come out of the oven they will probably look like a small scone. What I like to do, is flatten them gently as soon as they come out of the oven. This adds density to the texture of the cookie and I think a better all around taste.
