Introduction

A lighter version of chocolate chip cookies A lighter version of chocolate chip cookies
Number of Servings: 30

Ingredients

    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup unbleached granulated sugar
    3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    1 1/8 tsp baking powder
    scant 1/4 tsp salt
    3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or small chocolate chunks
    1/4 cup chopped pecans
    1/4 cup old-fashioned oatmeal

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the sugars, butter, and vanilla.

3. Add the baking powder, salt, and a third of the flour; mix. Add the flour in two more additions, mixing in between each one.

4. Fold in the chocolate, pecans, and oatmeal with a rubber spatula.

5. On parchment-line baking trays, add mounded teaspoon-fulls of the cookie dough. It helps to use two spoons, one to scoop out a little dough, and the other to form a smooth top to the cookie.

6. Bake each tray by itself on the middle rack of the oven, 9-11 minutes (until the outer edges of the cookies are only just firm and very light brown).

7. Remove each tray to a cooling rack and let sit 1-2 minutes. The cookies will firm a little more, and then you can move them to a piece of waxed paper to cool completely. Makes between 25-30 cookies.
