Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup butter, softened Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 2 pieces eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour for gluten-free cookies.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats Quick oats can be substituted but will change the texture.
  • 10 ounces caramel chips
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped Can substitute with any nuts, or leave nuts out entirely.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  2. Using a stand or electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
  4. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, and mix until combined.
  5. Fold in the caramel chips and chopped pecans.
Baking
  1. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 1 1/2 to 2-inch balls onto the baking sheet. Gently flatten them just a bit with your fingers.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes; the centers will look undercooked.
  3. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while they’re still warm and gooey. You can serve them plain, or pair them with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week or freeze for up to three months.
