Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Add-Ins
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, natural brown sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined. This ensures every cookie has a balanced flavor and texture.
- Cream the Butter and Wet Ingredients: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened plant-based butter until creamy. Gradually add vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and plant-based milk, blending well to create a smooth, flavorful base.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender; mix only until no streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in the Pecans: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the dough to distribute the nutty crunch evenly throughout.
- Portion and Bake: Scoop generous spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and retain their chewy texture.
Notes
- Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and crunch.
- Do not overbake to maintain soft and chewy cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes to improve texture and ease handling.
- Measure ingredients carefully for the perfect chewy-to-crispy balance.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg quantities to customize spice levels.
