Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

For a different twist, you can substitute walnuts for pecans or add a handful of dried cranberries for a touch of tartness. If you prefer a spicier cookie, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. For a chewier texture, reduce the baking time slightly and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. These cookies also freeze well, so you can make a double batch and save some for later.
