Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, toast the pecans before mixing into the dough.
- Sprinkle cookies with a pinch of sea salt before baking for a sweet-salty finish.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for later baking straight from the freezer.
