Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon banana extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.

Step 3

Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.

Step 4

Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.
