White Chocolate Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The recipe mixes shortening, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, then incorporates eggs, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Rolled oats and flour are gradually added, followed by chopped pecans and white chocolate chunks folded in to distribute their flavors. The dough is portioned into balls, flattened slightly, and baked at 350°F until the cookies develop a light golden edge.
The resulting cookies have a chewy texture from the oats and a soft crumb from the flour, complemented by crunchy pecan pieces and sweet pockets of white chocolate. The cinnamon adds subtle warmth, balancing the sweetness. This combination creates a classic oatmeal cookie profile with a white chocolate twist.
The recipe suggests testing a first batch to adjust baking time or ingredients as desired. Cooling on wire racks allows cookies to firm up before storing or serving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening I like butter flavored Crisco.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 egg
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup` pecans chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chopped, 4 ounces
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars.
- Add eggs, one at at time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the oats and flour to the bowl and mix just until almost combined, then add in the pecans and white chocolate. Fold until well blended but don't over mix.
- Scoop the dough by rounded cookie scoops and roll into a ball with your palms. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with your fingers or a small spatula.
- Bake for about 14 minutes minutes or until lightly golden. After cooling a couple of minutes, move to wire rack to cool completely. Note: I always do a test cookie or two first and make adjustments as needed.
