Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies For Comfort

Needing some comfort food,

I made these cookies for the first time on Saturday.

I took them to work and my boss/friend

said they were delicious.

So two votes for delicious..

Maybe you should try them?

Recipe at the end.

I made some new candle bowls to see

 me through the winter.

I also made this pillow out of

an old linen piece. 

Spending hours reading here, snuggled 

under a quilt I made years ago.

I usually pieced my backs to save fabric use.

Saddened by Phillip Seymour Hoffman's death.

Such a great loss.

So many great performances.

Comfort Food

Makes 2 1/2 dozen

1c butter softened

1 c firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 c granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups uncooked regular oats

1 pkg chocolate chunk morsels

1 c toasted chopped pecans

Preheat to 350

Beat butter, sugars, add eggs, vanilla

Combine flour, soda, salt

Add oats

Add dry ingredients to butter mixture

Gently stir in chocolate chunks and pecans.

Crop by rounded tablespoons or I use a scoop onto

silpat or parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly

 browned around edges depending on oven.

I found these baked better with 1 sheet in

 middle of oven at 12 minutes.

Yum

Update:

Several gals tried the recipe and loved it

(see comments)

so do give it a go..

I recommend only using chocolate chunks

for that big burst of chocolate
