Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing at low speed until fully combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt in a separate bowl; then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the quick oats, chocolate chips, and crushed pecans into the dough.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
  8. Sprinkle additional crushed pecans on top if desired and let cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
