~ Chocolate Pecan Oatmeal Cookies ~
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1 t finely grated orange peel (optional)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk or water
1 t vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecan pieces
Preheat oven to 325F.
Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In
a bowl, using a fork, stir flour with baking soda, salt,
cinnamon and peel. Place butter in a large bowl. Using
an electric mixer, beat until creamy. Gradually beat in
brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, 3
minutes. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Using a spoon,
stir in flour mixture just until combined, then oatmeal,
chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Roll dough into 1 1/2
inch balls. Place on baking sheets 4 inches apart. Flatten
balls into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Bake in center of oven
until edges are golden but centers are soft, 10 to 12
minutes. Cool on a rack. Store at room temperature in
an airtight container up to 1 week, or wrap in plastic and
freeze up to 1 month.
