These delicious cookies combine a buttery oat base with crunchy pecans and a rich maple glaze. The dough is chilled for texture, then baked until golden. A simple powdered sugar icing with maple syrup adds the final sweet touch.

Directions

Melt the butter using either a stovetop or microwave method.

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with brown sugar and maple syrup. While a stand mixer works well, a hand mixer or even a spoon can be used.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry blend to the wet ingredients, mixing until incorporated.

Stir in the pecans.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes so it firms up.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop chilled dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes; larger cookies may need extra time.

While cookies bake, prepare the icing by combining powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and a pinch of salt. If the icing is too thick, add a little milk until it reaches a drizzling consistency.

Allow cookies to cool completely, then drizzle with icing or dip them in. Enjoy!
