Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups uncooked oats
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Beat the sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment. Beat until creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.
3. Add the vanilla extract and beat until blended.
4. Whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
5. Add to the butter and egg mixture slowly beating on low speed until just incorporated.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans last.
7. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 13 minutes or until they’ve reached your desired doneness.
8. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Or you could just eat them warm. That’s probably the best idea.
10. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
