Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated (about 1 minute).
  4. Gradually add in the unbleached flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the quick oats, semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the dough into generous balls on the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  8. Immediately sprinkle a few reserved pecans on top of each cookie once out of the oven.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
