Time 45m

Yield 12 3 1/2- to 4-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
9 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup M&M's or other sugar-coated candies like Reese's pieces

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and rolled oats. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine butter, light brown sugar and superfine sugar. Beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat again until smooth.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat until smooth. By hand, fold in chopped pecans and M&M's.
Roll quarter-cup measures of dough into balls and flatten them into fat disks (about 1/2 inch thick). Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, about 6 at a time, so they have room to spread.
Bake until cookies are risen, dry on surface and very lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. They will be too soft to lift from baking sheet. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

Mixing pancake batter correctly is the key to success. Make sure to sift dry ingredients and whisk wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining. Mixing should be done just until all ingredients are combined, as overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
Use a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook pancakes in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
Don't flip pancakes too early. Wait until bubbles form on the surface and edges of the pancakes before attempting to flip. Flipping too early can result in uncooked centers.
Serve Monster Cookie Pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. You can also sprinkle them with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or chopped nuts for added flavor.
