Ingredients

1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup pecan halves
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions

Grind the oatmeal and pecan pieces in a food processor until they resemble cornmeal--reasonably fine but with some texture. Whisk the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, ginger, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the oat/nut mixture.

In another medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Gradually add the granulated and light brown sugar; continue beating until evenly combined, about 3 minutes more. Add the vanilla and the egg.

Mix in the dry ingredients to make a textured dough. Line a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans with plastic wrap and pack dough into the bottom half of the pan. Press to level off the dough. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and refrigerate until completely firm, about 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

Remove dough from the pan and unwrap. Slice dough in half lengthwise if using a large pan. Slice each log crosswise into 1/4-inch thick cookies. Place the cookies about a 1-inch apart on the prepared pans. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and crisp. Serve.

Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

A little bland...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These cookies were great because they were easy to make and came out really crispy, as most cookie recipes seem to be for... soft cookies, so if you like a crispy cookie they are good, but I was disappointed with the flavour, I added a little extra ginger but I actually couldn't taste ginger in the finished cookie at all, next time I would add way more ginger or perhaps some chopped stem ginger for a little extra kick!Read more

Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are a very nice, crisp cookie with delicious delicate flavor. Easy to put together as long as you think ahead and... allow for chilling time. I followed recipe exactly except I used old-fashioned oats, not quick-cooking, which worked fine. Also, I chilled overnight. Be sure to leave enough room between cookies on the cookie sheet - they do spread a little. They are EXQUISITE shortly after coming out of the oven - crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Unfortunately, they crisp up quite a bit as they cool and become crunchy all the way through. My family are die hard soft cookie fans, so I will try baking a little less to see if I can get that just out of the oven texture to stay around a bit longer. If so, this will become a staple at my house! If not, it is certainly a good solid recipe for a delicious crispy cookie, if that is what you're looking for. Read more

New Holiday Tradition
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love baking cookies for the holidays - but with an increasing shortage of time and a growing concern about the food we eat... - holiday cookies have slowly dwindled away from my Christmas "must-do's". These cookies put the baking back into my holiday schedule. They are easy to make - look like you slaved over them and taste fabulous. They're now one of 2 cookie recipes I'll make EVERY year.Read more
