Pecan by itself doesnt excite me overly much actually. But there is one pecan biscuits off the racks that I like but it so costs the earth. And I also love butter pecan ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
I wanted to try something with pecans and oats for quite sometime and I found this recipe in Mrs Fields cookie book. Now this recipe book I first saw in KLCC. And then later when I was in Florida I enquired about the book but it seem that particular outlet is not aware about it. I purchased the book in 2000 in BSC Bangsar - it was almost christmas (was it - or was it raya?) - whilst out shopping with Ginny. I tried a couple of recipes in the book and they turned quite alright (how bad could I be? I had the book for 8 years and I've tried only a couple..?)
Anyway. I like this cookie as it is light (credit goes to the oats) but unfortunately Eirfan said my usual choc chips tastes better and the others are already so blase about cookies anyway. I think I'll do this for the upcoming raya anyway.
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Combine flour, soda, salt & oats. Mix well. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl beat sugars and butter to form a grainy paste.
3. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat till light and fluffy.
4. Add the flour mixture, pecan and chips. Beat until just combined. Do not over mix.
5. Drop dough into cookie sheet. Bake at 180 degrees in a preheated oven for about 12 minutes.
Enjoy. And the image is from here.
