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.

Sweet
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I made to their specifications, the cookies turned out crumbly. So I added an egg and they were perfect. A tad bit on... the sweet side, but really good.Read more

I didn't have syrup so instead I used full amounts of sugar, then added 1/8C more brown sugar plus 1 Tbsp water. I also... doubled the amount of chips. They were delicious! Everyone loved them. Read more

Flavor's not quite right
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Reading the first two pages of reviews, I expected these to be the best cookies I will ever make, so perhaps my expectations... were too high. The cookie has a model appearance: almost meaty in its texture and the perfect amount of crumble-in-your-mouth-ness. I cut back on the white sugar just a very tiny bit after reading other reviews (but if I made this again I'd put the whole amount in). I think I expect my oatmeal cookies to have a slight cinnamon-y flavor. I didn't realize that until I tried these and found it lacking. While good, they seem slightly off. I expected them to be more mapley, but that flavor is extremely subtle. Anyhow, it is a model cookie with a flavor perhaps other people will appreciate more than I. The chocolate makes the cookie because the oatmeal dough couldn't hold its own. Next time I'll stick with the recipe on the underside of the oats container lid, which is quite good.Read more

So Good!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were awesome!!! I cut the sugars to 1/3 cup like some others suggested and they were right - not too sweet but sweet... enough. Quick and easy to make. I am not the best baker but they came out perfect. Note - make sure not to overcook them and know that they dont spread out like regular choc chip cookies do. I usually make very small ones so my kids can have two each but I would up giving them three because they were so tiny. Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is definitely a keeper. I did cut the white sugar a little (took the advice of other comments) and I only had half of... the 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, didn't realize I was out. Nevertheless, these cookies came out delicious. My husband is not that big on oatmeal cookies, he thinks they're too healthy, but he loved them. I replaced the choc. chips with raisins...yummy!Read more
