Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment or a Silpat (rubber nonstick baking mat). Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla, and beat until well mixed, about 3 minutes. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove in a separate bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter with the mixer on low speed. Once the flour has been incorporated, add the second half. Stir in the oats, pecans, orange zest, and chocolate chips. Drop the dough, by the tablespoon, onto the cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on a rack. Store at room temperature in a cookie jar or other airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 2 heavy large cookie sheets. Mix first 4 ingredients together in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in oatmeal mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Flatten cookies slightly with spoon. Bake until brown, about 10 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheets. Transfer cookies to rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats. Quick oats will make the cookies too soft and cakey. Old-fashioned oats will give the cookies a chewier texture.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This will help you get evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
- Don't overbake the cookies. They should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
