Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies: Mmm, Good!

Recipes September 15, 2018

When I have time, I enjoy cooking and baking from scratch. And when the fall season rolls around, the desire to bake is amplified!  All those wonderful pumpkin, cinnamon, and maple flavors are just waiting to be turned into something special. But today, I’m featuring tasty Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies!

Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies

 

These cookies have the perfect blend of a chewy inside and crispy outside, and they’re easy to make, which is always a plus.

When baking and cooking, I love using my Dreamware pieces from Polder’s Old World Market. Each utensil is hand-carved. I even have a double-sided measuring spoon that has the measurement carved into the handles of each end.

I also have a wooden cookie dough scoop that’s perfect for measuring out drop cookies.

Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies

After placing the scoops of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, flatten each dough ball just slightly with the back of the scoop.

When the cookies have cooled a bit after coming out of the oven, move them to a cooling rack. The fragrance of oatmeal raisin pecan cookies will fill your kitchen. Be prepared for the family to come running!

Hubby loves these Oatmeal Raisin Pecan Cookies, and so do I. The recipe below is a slight variation of a recipe from Ina Garten.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans
  • 1/2 pound 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.
  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together into a medium bowl. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture at low to medium speed. Add the oats, raisins, and pecans and mix just until combined.
  3. Using a cookie dough scoop or tablespoon, drop 2-inch mounds of dough onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Flatten slightly. Bake for 9 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a rack and cool completely.

    Them wooden spoons look Awesome. I’ve been using my old stand by wooden spoon with broken handle for sometime now. Hubby just laughs when he seems me using the spoon with only half a handle. Hey, it still works so don’t have the heart to throw it away.
    Thank you for this wonderful giveaway opportunity. Thanks also for the great cookie recipe

    This is my husband’s favorite cookie too! I’ll have to try your recipe. I usually leave those nasty raisins out of part of the cookies. I’m not a fan. ???? I’m following Old World Kitchen on Pinterest.

    I…have never been rendered speechless by wooden kitchen utensils but I was today. Such beautiful works of art. They are so beautiful that I actually saw myself using the spatula. Glorious.

    I even created an Instagram account so that I could follow Old World Kitchen! I am also following Old World on Pinterest and receiving their newsletter.

    I plan on making these cookies for the Memorial Day weekend and I’m going to add coconut (my husband is a retired solider and he loves coconut).

    Thank you for your blog and for posting such fantastic things.

    I am now following on all and subscribed. Your cookie recipe sounds divine. I recently made oatmeal, walnut, cranberry cookies and they were so fantastic. I very rarely eat sugar so always substitute stevia, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference in the taste, texture and overall yumminess of the cookies.
