How to Make Our Favorite Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix until completely combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 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 chopped pecans, and 2 cups chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
