Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup premium flour
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp of soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups of oatmeal
• 0.5 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 110 g unsalted butter at room temperature
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 tbsp. maple syrup
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate granules

Preparation:

1. Position 2 racks in the middle and upper thirds of the oven and preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, and nuts with a fork or whisk. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 30 seconds until smooth. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
3. Beat the maple syrup and vanilla with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in the flour mixture. Mix until the dough is smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Place walnut-sized balls of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 7 cm apart. Using damp fingers, smooth and round the cookies slightly.
5. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. The cookies are done when they're lightly browned on top. Transfer the baking sheets to a wire rack and let cool.
