Cinnamon Pecan Cookies

 

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2½ cups flour

2 cups rolled oats

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

2 cups chopped pecans

 

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Combine the butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes.

Next add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Stir to combine and slowly add the dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until dough starts to form.

Before the dough thickens, add the chopped pecans. Beat a couple of times until they start to incorporate.

Use a medium cookie scoop and place on a sheet pan about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes. The center of the cookie should be slightly under baked but not too gooey. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
