Maple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

Fall is my favorite season.  I thoroughly enjoy being cozy in my home with the smells of good food cooking or baking.  There is also nothing like coming home after a long day to home cooked or baked food and smells.  I believe it's therapeutic.  When I was at the store last week I noticed that Nestle has maple flavored baking chips available for the season.  I bought them and quickly settled on trying them in some oatmeal cookies.  These maple pecan oatmeal cookies turned out deliciously.  They are more of a crisp, chewy cookie and definitely go well with a tall glass of milk.   So give them a try and let me know what your think!

Bag of maple flavored chips.

This is what the bag of maple chips looks like.  I bought mine at Walmart.

Maple pecan oatmeal cookie dough scooped out ready to bake.

These cookies are a basic cookie to mix up.  My big tip with any kind of oatmeal cookie is this though.  Oatmeal has a slower rate of absorption of liquids than flour, which means that after you've added the amount of flour called for your cookie dough my appear to need more flour.  Even though you will want to go ahead and add extra flour, don't.  Wait 5 to 10 minutes giving the oatmeal time to absorb the extra liquid.  If after waiting you still think you need more flour then go ahead and add some.

Description

These maple pecan oatmeal cookies embrace the flavors of fall! Enjoy this chewy crisp oatmeal cookie and all it's nutty goodness with a tall glass of milk!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • ¾ cup Shortening
  • ½ cup White Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1 Tbs. Maple Flavoring
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal
  • 1 cup Maple Flavored Baking Chips
  • 1 cup chopped Pecans (I use Fisher's Pecan Cookie Pieces)
  • 1 cup Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare baking sheets by spraying with non-stick cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the shortening and sugars together.  Add the water, maple flavoring and egg.  Mix well.
  3. Stir in the baking soda and salt.
  4. Stir in the oatmeal.
  5. Add the maple chips and chopped pecans.
  6. Stir in the flour.  When the dough is first mixed up it may seem like it needs more flour. However, the oatmeal will continue to absorb the moisture in the dough as it sits so if you add more flour your cookies may end up dry and tough. If you are concerned that the dough is too wet, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes then give it a stir and see if it is still too wet. It really shouldn’t be though.
  7. Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.  The bottom edges will have turned very lightly browned.  Cool on a wire rack and eat!

    Mindy: I was interested in your recipe using the maple chips and wondered if you have tried a recipe using the chips to make brownies? Maple is my favorite flavor and I was very excited when I found the chips at Walmart last Christmas because I love maple fudge. I called the Nestle's company to see if they had a recipe for maple fudge using the chips and they didn't. I made some with the usual chocolate chip recipe but was very disappointed because it didn't taste like the maple fudge I am use to making. I would really appreciate it if you have tried a recipe for maple brownies that you can share with me. Thanks so much.
    Have a blessed rest of the week.

      I'm sorry I haven't tried any recipes for maple fudge using the chips or a maple brownie one. However, I did look on Pinterest and I see that there are a few recipes that may be promising. This one by Tasty Kitchen looks like a good option: https://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/maple-fudge-2/ I would just sub the maple chips for the butterscotch chips. There were also many, many maple brownie or blondie recipes on Pinterest as well. Good luck!
