Servings: persons

3/4 cups Pecans
1 stick Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
1/2 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 cups Sugar
1 Extra Large Egg
1-1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
3/4 cups Flour (unbleached Or All-purpose)
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon (I Use Heaping)
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
3 cups Muesli
3/4 cups Raisins
3/4 cups Cinnamon Chips
1/2 cups Butterscotch Chips (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Place pecans on a small baking sheet and bake 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Watch carefully so they do not burn. Remove from oven and set pan on a rack, allow pecans to cool and then chop coarsely. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl using a mixer beat butter, brown sugar and white sugar on medium high speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
3
Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together into a medium bowl. With mixer on low, slowly add dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Mix well. Add Muesli, raisins and pecans and mix until combined.
4
Stir in cinnamon chips and butterscotch chips, if using.
5
Using a small ice-cream scoop drop 2 inch mounds of dough onto greased baking sheets placing them about 2 inches apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a baking rack and cool completely.
6
I bake until cookies are just slightly golden on the edges. They may look a little soft but will set as they cool. The recipe makes approximately 36 cookies and is easily doubled.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
