Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cup Crushed pretzels
- 0.5 cup Toasted pecans, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chunks, crushed pretzels, and toasted pecans until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly sprinkle each cookie dough ball with a pinch of sea salt flakes for an added touch of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these salty-sweet, chocolatey oatmeal cookies with a rebellious crunch!
