Hi, guys! Today I have the yummiest post for you. These easy cookies are made with chewy, hearty oatmeal, stuffed with nutty pecans and sweet, melty chocolate chips, and have been my absolute favorite cookies since childhood. They *may* have fueled my lifelong disappointment of biting into oatmeal cookies and tasting raisins. They certainly have become a cookie staple in our house, especially around the holidays. Get the recipe below and fall in love yourself!
