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.

Great cookies - taste and texture!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these cookies pretty much exact to the recipe except I did not have pecans so I used toffee pieces to have another... flavor in there. They melted and made the cookie even more gooey! These cookies come out perfect thickness, great tasting, and great texture. The oats are not overpowering. Perfect sweetness for someone who likes sweet cookies, but it wouldn't hurt to use less sugar like others have. Do not over bake these though because these are the type to get rock hard if you do! If you bake these until just done, they will stay soft and gooey in the middle. The maple is barely detectable, but a nice touch and I did use half "fake" maple syrup. Perfect amount of chocolate chips too. I'll definitely use this recipe again!Read more

New Family Fav! - Monster Cookies
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We call these "Tahoe" cookies. I use M&M's instead of chocolate chips and roll into a 1 1/2" - 2" ball - press flat onto... cookie sheet. Leave plent of room because they spread while cooking. After they've cooled I individually wrap them in plastic wrap. Great as snacks on the slope!Read more

I didn't have maple syrup so I added a bit more sugar and a tbsp of water (as mentioned in previous posts) and the cookies... turned out amazing! I will definitely be making them again soon!Read more
