The cookies are so soft and chewy and the combination of old-fashioned oats and pecans with pumpkin spice is splendid. — Dishes and Dust Bunnies 

Servings

1

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus two tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoon molasses
• 1 cup plus two and a half tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 cup plus two and a half tablespoons old fashioned or large flake oats
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and molasses. Mix thoroughly.
3. Combine dry ingredients, except for the pecans and oats. Use a sifter or whisk to combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. Add in the applesauce until combined. Stir in the pecans and oats.
4. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 25-30 minutes. On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (or a silicon baking liner) spoon out dough in roughly 1 tablespoon amounts. Try to leave at least 1 inch to 1.5 inch space between each lump. Put the cookies in the oven for 11-12 minutes.
5. Once you take the cookies out of the oven leave them on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before letting them cool on wire rack.
