Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar , optional - see note
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- 1
Preheat an oven to 350° F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- 2
Beat the butter and sugars together until creamy and fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and vinegar; mix to combine.
- 3
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix everything together to form a dough.

?Stir the chopped pecans into the dough until distributed throughout. Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes - this will allow the oats to absorb some of the moisture in the dough and make it easier to handle.
- 5
Scoop about 2 heaping tablespoons of the dough into your palms and form a ball; place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough (about 8 cookie dough balls spread out on your baking sheet), then bake the cookies for 12 minutes.

Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
