OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES
I adapted these from a King Arthur recipe. We enjoyed these healthy wheat free cookies. If you double the recipe and use 2 cookie sheets reverse them halfway through baking (top to bottom, bottom to top). Watch for over baking.

HEALTHY CHEWY OATMEAL, RAISIN, PECAN COOKIES
This is a healthy low-calorie version of my original recipe. This recipe uses lower calorie ingredients such as Splenda Sweetener, Splenda Brown Sugar, and wheat flower. These cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc).

FAMILY FAVORITE CHEWY APRICOT PECAN OATMEAL COOKIES
It was my turn to make the fellowship treat for church. Between Sunday School and the morning service we have a short coffee break where we enjoy coffee, juice and some sort of coffee cake etc... I wanted something some what healthy that everyone could easily grab. I had a big container of oatmeal and dried apricots in the pantry and used them as my jumping point. These even make a fantastic breakfast cookie!

MEAN CHEF'S OATMEAL PECAN CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES
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.

LOW-FAT BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES
Wow these are good for being low-fat! Sometimes to make them even healthier, I replace half the flour with whole wheat flour, and I use 1/4 cup honey to replace half of the light corn syrup. These do not spread out at all. They are wonderful things to pop in your mouth when you want something sweet. This is a variation from Tribole's "Healthy Desserts"

CHOCOLATE PECAN OATMEAL COOKIES
These cookies are absolutely FANTASTIC. I took the original recipe idea from allrecipes.com and modified it to make it my own... I knew that these cookies were a keeper when my oatmeal-cookie-HATING younger brothers DEVOURED half the batch right off the cooling rack!!! I wasn't even done baking yet! My parents also RAVED over these cookies and now ask me to make them for their bake sales, parties, co-workers, etc. Which isn't a problem because they are sooo easy to make. Hope you enjoy! Note: I recommend using an electric mixer for the ingredients up until adding the oatmeal, chocolate chips, and pecans... It works wonderfully

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) In a large bowl, cream together the Crisco, water, brown sugar, egg, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Mix the dry into the wet ingredients until well combined. Then stir in the nuts and dried fruit. Bake for 10-12 minutes and cool on a wire rack
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats. They provide a chewier texture than quick-cooking oats.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting intensifies their flavor and makes them more fragrant.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
Conclusion:
These oatmeal pecan cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their chewy texture, nutty flavor, and hint of sweetness, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying recipe, give these oatmeal pecan cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
