Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies Recipes

Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies

These easy drop cookies are crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Chocolate minichips disperse better in the batter, but you can use regular chips if that’s what you have on hand.

Nutrition Tip: If you’re craving chocolate, eating an apple isn’t likely to satisfy you. Instead, enjoy what you really want—in moderation. Research shows that each subsequent taste of a food is rated as less enjoyable than the previous taste. The first bite is always the best; the second bite, second best. If you eat half of what you’d normally want, your satisfaction rating will still be very high. So packing one of these delicious chocolate chip cookies (81 calories each) might satisfy your craving and keep you from overdoing it later.
