Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
• 1.5 cups Chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, toasted pecans, and chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still appear slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
