Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar with a fork.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Fold in the quick oats, chocolate chips, and ½ cups of crushed pecans and mix well.

Step 6

Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop and create cookie dough balls. Place the cookie dough balls about 3” apart on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown – do not over bake.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and immediately top with crushed pecans (optional).

Step 9

Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Cookies may need a little extra time to cool to stay together since they are so thick – the center needs time to finish baking after they are out of the oven.
