Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies

Becky Luigart-Stayner; Jan Gautro
These easy drop cookies are crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Chocolate minichips disperse better in the batter, but you can use regular chips.
Yield: 3 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 1/2 ounces)
- 1 cup regular oats
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate minichips
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through salt), stirring with a whisk; set aside.
Place sugars and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add vanilla and egg; beat until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed just until combined. Stir in pecans and minichips. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool on wire racks.

Based on previous reviews, I added an additional egg white and switched the amounts of brown and granulated sugar. With those alterations the cookies went fantastically! I only managed to get 18 cookies out of it, and I cooked them for 13 minutes.
Based on some reviews I wasn't interested in making the cookies, but my boyfriend suggested I follow some of the suggestions in the comments and he was right to push; they were great!12/27/09

I thought this was a really good "light" recipe. It had good texture and flavor. I might even reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe, but other than that I highly recommend it.10/29/09
