Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups oatmeal
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry and Spice Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Grab your stand mixer and cream 1 cup room temperature butter with 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and airy at medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing after each addition. Pour 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and blend until fully incorporated.
- Pulse 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 ½ cups oatmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix your dough.
- Incorporate 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 9 ounces chocolate chunks, and 1 ½ cups chopped pecans using a wooden spoon.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Your cookies need space to spread.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Always use room temperature butter for smoother creaming and better cookie texture.
- Grind some of the oatmeal into a fine powder to create a more complex, tender crumb in your cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
