MEAN CHEF'S OATMEAL PECAN CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Mean Chef's Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Amazingly soft, delicious cookies! When I made this, I used Ghirardelli chocolate and was just short on the called-for amount of pecans. The dough was really hard after refrigerating overnight, and I found it easier to roll it into balls by hand rather than the ice cream scoop. I adopted this recipe after its original poster, Mean Chef, departed the site. Mean posted the recipe on Feb 12, 2003.

12 ounces chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in the top 1/3 and another in the bottom 1/3 of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over hot, simmering water.
  • Remove from the heat but keep the chocolate mixture over a bowl of hot water to ensure that the mixture does not set.
  • In a small bowl, combine the vanilla extract and the espresso powder and whisk until the espresso powder is dissolved.
  • Stir the espresso mixture into the chocolate mixture.
  • Combine the eggs and both sugars in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer (you can double the recipe and it will fit a 5 or 6 qt mixer bowl).

  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are set: switch the positions of the baking sheets halfway through the baking time for even baking.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheets on wire racks for about 3 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough.

PECAN, OAT, AND DARK-CHOCOLATE-CHUNK COOKIES



Pecan, Oat, and Dark-Chocolate-Chunk Cookies image

These hearty treats are like a granola bar and a cookie rolled in one. This dough is sticky and a bit crumbly (but hey, it's gluten-free and vegan!) -- use damp hands to flatten. Cookies will crisp as they cool. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 803.

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND DRIED CHERRIES



Chocolate-Chunk Oatmeal Cookies With Pecans and Dried Cherries image

I received this an email from ATK. I substituted dried cranraisins for the dried cherries, semi-sweet chocolate chips for bittersweet chocolate and used my hand mixer. Dried cranberries may also be used instead of the cherries. Quick oats may be used instead but will yield a cookie with slightly less chewiness. These cookies will keep for 4 to 5 days stored in airtight container or zipper-lock bag, but they will lose their crisp exterior and become uniformly chewy after a day or so. I only baked one cookie tray at a time. These were very good. I froze them in individual bags for a sweet treat.

Time 1h

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup dried tart cherry, chopped coarse (I used cranraisins)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into the size of chocolate chips (I used semi sweet chocolate chips)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, but still cool
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • I baked the cookies only one tray at a time so I cannot vouch for the method of baking two at a time. But if you would like to bake two trays at a time adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line 2 large (18 x 12) baking sheets with parchment paper. If you do not have this size, you will need to use 3.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
  • In second medium bowl, stir together, oats, pecans, cherries and chocolate.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with flat beater, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until no sugar lumps remain, about 1 minute.
  • Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula; add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape down bowl; with mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With mixer still running on low, gradually add oat/nut mixture; mix until just incorporated.
  • Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide dough evenly into 16 portions; about 1/4 cup each.
  • Roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing about 2 1/2 inches apart.
  • Using hands, gently press each dough ball into 1 inch thickness. Bake both sheets 12 minutes, rotate them front to back and top to bottom, then continue to bake until cookies are medium brown and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will seem underdone and will appear raw, wet and shiny in cracks), 8 to 10 minutes longer. (I baked each cookie tray individually for 18 minutes). Do Not Over Bake.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 5 minutes; using wide metal spatual, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room tempature.

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND DRIED CHERRIES FROM AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chocolate-Chunk Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans and Dried Cherries From America's Test Kitchen Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Onolicious

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups (6 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups (3 3/4 ounces) old-fashioned oats
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup (4 ounces) dried tart cherries
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or 4 oz. of chopped bittersweet chocolate
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), slightly softened
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another medium bowl, mix together dried cherries, toasted pecans, oats, and chocolate chips. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together butter and sugar until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary and mix for about 30 seconds. On low-speed, slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Then turn off the mixer and fold in the oats and cherry mixture with a rubber spatula. Roll dough into 1/4-inch balls and place on the baking sheet, lightly flattening each ball to 1-inch thickness. Place the balls 2 1/2 inches apart on the cookies sheets. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 20-22 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet halfway through, until cookies are medium brown and the edges are set. Don't worry, the cookies will appear a little underbaked in the middle. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the cookies.
  • Toast the oats before using them. This will enhance their flavor and make them even more chewy.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar adds moisture and a rich molasses flavor, while granulated sugar provides sweetness and crispness.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set properly.

Conclusion:

These Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies are the perfect combination of chewy, gooey, and crunchy. They're packed with flavor from the oats, pecans, chocolate chunks, and brown sugar. And they're so easy to make, you'll be able to enjoy them anytime you crave a sweet treat. So next time you're in the mood for a delicious and satisfying cookie, give these Oatmeal Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
