valosin's Chocolate Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

So, valosin sent this to me out of the blue! And she signed the email "Violently yours." Heh. I'm entirely too amused and pleased. She writes that someone asked for this recipe, possibly deekay. And, it's adapted from Canadian Living: Every Day Favourites. Enjoy!

• 2/3 c butter, softened
• 1 c packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (the recipe calls for orange rind, but I like the
• vanilla better)
• 1 1/2 rolled oats (not instant)
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp each baking powder and baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 c chocolate chips
• 1/2 c chopped pecans

Pre-heat oven to 375. Grease or line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy: beat in egg and vanilla.

In a separate bowl mix together rolled oats, flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture and stir until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.

Drop by heaping tablespoonfulls about 2 in apart onto cookie sheets bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, rotating and switching halfway though, until golden, about 10 min. Let cool on pan for 2 min, transfer to wire rack. Cool completely.
