Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and prepare 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray or a layer of treated parchment paper.
  2. Mix oats, sugar, baking powder, pecans and salt together in a large bowl until well incorporated.
  3. Add butter, egg and vanilla to oat mixture;and mix well. Allow "batter" to stand for one minute.
  4. Drop teaspoonfuls (not tablespoons) of batter onto cookie sheets and flatten each out, leaving 2-inches between each cookie. (They spread quite a bit while baking.)
  5. Bake cookies until edges turn golden, about 9 to 12 minutes, and remove from the oven. Let cookies sit on on cookie sheets for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
