Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies


 Another Ina Garten fabulous recipe! I do not like raisins but these are an exception!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (calls for dark, did not have any)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick oats (called for old fashioned)
  • 1 1/4 cup golden raisins (called for 1 1/2 cups)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

Place pecans on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Cool and chop coarsely.

In electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.

With mixer on low, add eggs, on at a time and the vanilla.

Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.

With mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. 

Add the oats, raisins and pecans and mix until combined.

I bumped up stove temperature to 360-degrees for high altitude.

Using a tablespoon, drop mounds of dough on baking sheets lined with parchment.

Flatten slightly with damp finger.

Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.

Transfer to baking rack to cool.
