How to Make Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (though they rarely last that long!).
