Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter and allow it to cool. Chop the pecans and set aside.
1/2 cup unsalted butter
In a medium bowl, add in flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups rolled oats, 1 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp baking powder
In a large bowl, whisk cooled butter and brown sugar. Add in egg and whisk in. Then whisk in the maple syrup until smooth.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 large egg, ½ cup maple syrup
Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft cookie dough forms. Don't over-mix!
Add in pecans and mix in a few times.
1 cup chopped pecans
Scoop 6 cookie dough balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Add an extra pecan on top.
Bake for 10-13 minutes. Mine took 13 minutes. The cookies will be ready when the edges are a golden brown, but the inside will look very soft. Remove from oven, let the cookies cool on the hot pan for a few minutes before serving warm or cool completely and enjoy!
