Recipe Introduction

Recipe du Jour Simply the BEST daily recipe E-zine on the Web!

List of Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine (do not use spread)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 7/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup chopped pecans, if desired


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Cream together the butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour, soda and salt, mix in. Stir in the oats and pecans. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cooky sheets. Bake at 350 F. for approximately 11 minutes until the edges are beginning to turn golden. Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute. Remove to cool on a wire rack. Yield: about 5 dozen

MY NOTES:
I like to add a mixture of nuts and dried cherries or cranberries to these cookies. Baked on a stone these cookies need LESS time in cooking to ensure they are "chewy". A TBSP of Kahlúa is a great addition to this recipe.
