Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pecan Cookies | Gluten-free

You can’t go wrong with these cookies. I think oatmeal cookies are a bit underrated because people are constantly disappointed with the raisins that look like chocolate chips. But the reality is that oatmeal cookies are amazing when they’re made right.

These cookies have both the chewiness and crispiness that we all aim for when baking cookies. They’re also great for the people in your life who are “intolerant” to gluten-free food. They will actually love these.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll remember that I’ve already posted an oatmeal cookie recipe. I just really love oatmeal cookies and wanted to make an elevated version of them although I think they’re both equally as delicious. These are also best eaten while reading a book. xx
