Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Melt in a medium saucepan: 1 ¼ sticks (5 oz or 145g) unsalted butter

  2. Step 2.

    Simmer the butter gently, stirring occasionally, until the solids on the bottom of the pan turn light brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in until blended: 1 cup packed (230g) light brown sugar; ¼ cup (90g) light corn syrup; 1 tablespoon (15g) milk; ¼ teaspoon salt

  3. Step 3.

    Stir in until combined: 1 ½ cups (150g) old-fashioned rolled oats; ½ cup finely chopped toasted pecans; 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons vanilla

  4. Step 4.

    Drop the batter by the teaspoon about 3 ½ inches apart onto the baking sheets. Bake 1 sheet at a time until the cookies are lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. Let cool on the sheet for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
