W/ Raisin Option
These oatmeal pecan cookies are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. They are the perfect texture and have less sugar than most other cookies. The whole family will love them!
Other cookies to try
The mixture of pecans and muesli or oatmeal really gives these cookies a great texture. I am a big texture lover and I always need some texture in just about everything I eat!

Coconut oil. Coconut oil to replace the butter and make them dairy free. If you prefer butter and have butter on hand, by all means please feel free to use that. I prefer to keep these cookies dairy free.
Flour. I used all purpose flour.
Sugar. I used coconut sugar and white sugar for this recipe. I had both and wanted them to look a certain way. The coconut sugar is a bit healthier and will make your cookies come out a little darker than if you use white sugar. The mixture of the two sugars gives these cookies a chewier consistency and I just love it.
Pecans. This is optional, if you don’t have pecans or if you have an allergy please leave these out or use any nut you prefer! The pecans are my favorite addition.
Oats or museli. I used museli because I wanted to add some dried fruit into these cookies. The muesli I used can be found here. It has dried blueberries which replaced raisins perfectly! If you do not have muesli, use regular old fashioned oats. The museli gives these cookies a fantastic texture and the dried fruit adds a little moisture.
The dough for these cookies is dry and thick. This is wy they have a crispy outside. By baking them for a short amount of time it will keep them chewy and soft in the middle.
I always like to use a cookie scoop to form cookies. It helps to make them a consistent size and shape throughout so that when you bake them they are all evenly cooked in the middle and you know what to expect. This is the cookie scoop I use
