Maple Pecan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Maple Pecan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: a chewy, dense, and richly flavored cookie filled with cinnamon, maple, and pecans. Decadently delicious with maple glaze and even more pecans. A cookie that's a seasonal favorite at my house!
Servings: 24 servings
Calories: 227kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- large egg
- 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1-1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans plus more for sprinkling over the top
Maple Glaze
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a mixer beat butter until light and fluffy, add packed brown sugar and continue to mix until thoroughly combined. Add the egg, vanilla, and maple syrup and beat until smooth and incorporated.
- To the wet ingredients add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix together. Then mix in the oats. Once the oats have been incorporated, fold in the raisins and chopped pecans.
- Drop spoonfuls or scoops (my favorite method) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between cookies. Bake for 10-13 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies, or until the edges have turned a golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack.
Maple Glaze
- In a medium bowl combine the confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar) and the maple syrup. Add enough water to bring it to a drizzle consistency.
- To the cooled cookies, drizzle the Maple Glaze and sprinkle additional chopped pecans.
Notes
I do toast the pecans for added flavor, but as it's another step, it's not purely necessary.
