Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies

We made these on Sunday afternoon.  The girls are getting cabin fever from the cold Ohio winter this year.  So Cadence asked daddy what would you like me to bake you?  He wanted chocolate chip cookies.  A quick search and these sounded so good!  They are absolutely a keeper and we will be making again.  They aren't even that bad for you as far as a cookie goes.  The next time I make them I might even reduce the sugar more so I can steal a few more cookies ;-)

Recipe Modifications

• Added 1/4 cup white sugar instead of 3/4 cup
• Added 3/4 cup brown sugar instead of 1/2 cup, will try 1/2 next bake
