Ingredients
  • 1 stick, unsalted butter
  • ½ c. brown sugar, packed
  • ½ c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • ½ c. + 3 T. all purpose flour
  • ½ T. cornstarch
  • ¼ c. oat flour (regular oats blended in food processor)
  • ½ t. baking soda
  • ½ t. sea salt
  • ⅛ t. nutmeg
  • ¼ t. ground cinnamon
  • 1½ c. old fashioned oats

  • ⅓ c. chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Then beat in the egg and vanilla.
  2. In another bowl add the flour and cornstarch. To make oat flour, blend up regular oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble flour. Measure to get ¼ c. and add that in. Add in the baking soda, sea salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and old fashioned oats.
  3. Add the dry to the wet and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Coarsely chop the pecans and add them in. Stir together all of the ingredients and then cover tightly and chill for at least an hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop out the balls to about an 1½ inches in diameter.
  5. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking liner. Place balls of dough on sheet. Return to fridge for another 10 minutes.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned at the edges.
  7. Let cool for about 2 minutes on cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with additional sea salt, if desired.
