Chocolate-Oatmeal-Pecan Cookies

Happy Friday! I made cookies!

Most of the time when I decide to bake something, it’s because I’ve stumbled upon a recipe that I want to try right then or I’m hit with a sudden craving for whatever it is but the other day I was in a mood to bake and for the life of me couldn’t come up with anything that sounded good. I went digging through my cookbooks and found this gem.

I know, they look like your typical chocolate chip cookies with some nuts and oats thrown in. But they’re not! They are the most amazing chocolate chip cookies with some nuts and oats thrown in!

No, but seriously, they have a teensy bit of molasses in them and it totally makes the cookie. It’s not so apparent that you’re like OMGWHYARETHERECHOCOLATECHIPSINMYMOLASSESCOOKIE but it definitely adds a little somethin’ somethin’.

I think I say this every time I make a cookie but this is my new favorite and I’ve officially hidden them from myself so that they aren’t staring me down every time I walk into the kitchen.
