Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar adds moisture and a deep caramel flavor; substitute with white sugar for a lighter taste.
  • 1 cup Pecans provides a delightful crunch and nutty flavor; can be swapped with walnuts for a similar texture.
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats adds chewiness and hearty structure; use quick oats for a softer texture.
  • 1 cup Flour gives structure to the cookies; all-purpose flour works best but can be replaced with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Butter brings richness and moisture; margarine serves as a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Egg helps bind ingredients together; for a vegan twist, use a flax egg or applesauce instead.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder ensures cookies rise and stay light.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract adds aromatic richness; can be omitted for a more subtle taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown Sugar Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats and chopped pecans until evenly distributed in the dough.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
