Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

Eat! Eat! You're skin and bones!'s Note:

These are my husband's favourite cookies (and mine!). The cookie batter is just the right sweetness, balanced by the chocolate chips. What I like about these cookies are they are so quick to make and I always have these ingredients on hand. I make these at least twice a month!

• Total Time: 13 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 28 cookies

• ¾ cup chocolate chips
• ½ cup butter , softened

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick-cooking oat
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F Beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla.
2. Add flour, oats and baking soda. Mix until blended.
3. Add chocolate chips and pecans.
4. Drop by level tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
5. Bake approximately 7-8 minutes (depends on your oven; you want these cookies to be tender coming out, but they should look like they are done baking).
6. Transfer onto a wire rack after cooling for a few minutes.

i made these cookies one night just to try a new recipe. I knew i had chocolate chips and pecans, so i searched for something new that i could use those in. I stumbled on this recipe, and although it was not yet rated, i thought i would give it a try.

these cookies came out awesome! i used Kashi oatmeal packets for the "quick cooking oat" since i didn't have any on hand, and i added a few more chocolate chips and pecans then the recipe called for, i figured it couldn't hurt! :)

the cookies came out looking lumpy and almost not any different from the dough, but they tasted AMAZING!

im making these again for a potluck dinner im attending. another one of my favorite recipes! :)
