Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
1 tablespoon molasses
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted and cooled
4 oz dark chocolate bar roughly chopped
Flaky sea salt for topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Whisk in molasses, egg, and vanilla.
Add oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to liquid mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. (dough will be slightly sticky) Gently stir toasted pecans and chocolate chunks.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into 1-in balls and place on prepared baking sheets 1-2 inches apart. Bake cookies at 350F 9-10 minutes or until edges are golden (cookies will appear underdone in the middle---this ok) Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt if desired.
Cool cookies 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
