OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES

I’m so excited to share with you these oatmeal pecan cookies! Not only are these my absolute FAVORITE oatmeal cookies ever, but they have been tested and tested and tested so I am way excited for you all to try them! They’ve been made so often mostly because the toddler and I love making cookies (way too often), but also because I sent them to a few of my friends, so a lot of batches had to be made 🙂 I participated in a mailing cookie exchange with this recipe and it was so fun. How it works? Pick a few friends, perfect a cookie recipe, and mail a dozen (or however many you want) cookies to everyone. In exchange you’ll get their favorite cookies in the mail back! It’s a fun thing to do around the holidays if you’re away from family/friends!

My favorite cookie (ever) is an oatmeal chocolate-chip cookie (does that make me boring?!). So, I wanted these to be the very best. The “very best” (in my mind) is a soft & chewy oatmeal cookie that has crisp edges/bottom and an ultra soft, slightly under-baked center. These cookies fit that bill. They’ve got those crispy & crunchy sugary edges, a soft slightly underbaked center, plenty of melted chocolate throughout, and overall plenty of chewiness.
