Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled (old-fashioned) oats
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Set 2 racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, and pecans together with a whisk or fork.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 30 seconds until blended. Beat in the egg until smooth and barely fluffy. With mixer running on medium high, drizzle in the maple syrup, and vanilla until incorporated. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the flour-oatmeal mixture. Blend just to combine, then mix in the chocolate chips.
Drop walnut-sized balls of dough onto a nonstick or parchment-lined cookie sheet at 3-inch intervals. With moistened fingers, flatten and round out the cookies a little. Bake for 9 minutes, turning the pan once for even baking. The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on top. Set the cookie sheets on a rack to cool.

These are awesome cookies. I usually tweak recipes but in this case, followed it exactly. The cookies are a perfect combination of soft and chewy. I really like that they're not too sweet, and compared to most traditional chocolate chip cookies have half the fat and 1/3 less sugar, even counting the maple syrup when lends a lot of flavor. It's one of those things that make you say, hmmm, what is in that? I was really pleased. I think you could use different types of chips and nuts but the basic recipe I thought was perfect.

Awesome! I used a cup of Hershey's baking melts instead of regular choc chips - chocolate chunky yummyness. I also made mine golf ball size and baked at 350 for 11 - 12 minutes. One coworker called them "better than sex". I'm inclined to agree.

i am 13 years old and i love to bake and cook and always find myself staying up till midnight watching old reruns of triple-d, good eats, iron chef america, and throwdown with bobby flay! so, naturally, when my friend said she now hated chocolate chip oatmeal cookies because her skills for living class made some reall crapy box ingredient ones, i just had to prove her wrong. so, i used this recipe to make her some, and she absolutely loved them!!! i did, however, add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and i substituted honey for the maple syrup. my mom also took some t work, and everyone there who tried one fell in love too! this is a great recipe and everyone should definetly try it out! they are chewy, and soft, and so texturally unique! i give them two thumbs up!
