Ingredients
1stick butterroom temp
1/2cupwhite sugar
1/2cupbrown sugar
1egg
1tsp.vanilla
1 1/4cupsall purpose flour
1cupold-fashioned rolled oats
1/2tsp.baking soda
1/4tsp.salt
1cupmaple flavored baking chips
1cupchoppedtoasted pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment or silpat liners. In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugars on medium until light and fluffy. While butter and sugars are creaming, whisk flour, oats, soda and salt in a bowl. Add egg and vanilla to creamed butter mixture and beat well. Turn speed down to low and add the flour mixture, beating until almost combined. Next add the chips and pecans, and beat until just combined. Finish combining the dough by folding everything together with a spatula.
Using a small scoop (I use a #60 disher) or 2 soup spoons, portion dough about 2" apart on the baking sheets. Bake cookies 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Cookies are done when the edges are lightly browned and centers look set while still a teeny, tiny bit soft. If you want your cookies crispier, bake till lightly browned on top. Makes about 30 cookies.
