Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and light, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add one large egg and a splash of vanilla extract, beating until creamy, about another minute.
  4. Whisk together unbleached flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just incorporated.
  5. Fold in quick oats, semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, and crushed pecans until evenly distributed.
  6. Form generous dough balls using a 3-tablespoon scoop and place them 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes until golden edges form; centers should remain soft.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle additional crushed pecans on top after removing from the oven.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
