These Caramel Pecan Oatmeal Cookies have got to be one of my all-time favorite cookies! Soft and chewy on the inside slightly crispy on the outside like my Iced Oatmeal Cookies. Bursting with caramel chips and crunchy pecans.

Nothing like a warm cookie right out of the oven, Mmmm! As a child when we made homemade cookies, I used to pop a couple in the microwave for 10 seconds just to warm them up again.
Tips for making Caramel Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
- I like to make 24 big cookies, but you could easily make these smaller just adjust the time so you don't overcook them.
- Pressing the cookies down to flatten them a bit, helps them become a flat cookie.
- I use Ghirardelli Caramel Chips or Kraft Caramel Bits.
- Removing them from the oven when they are just a tad underdone, gives them a nice chewy texture.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
If they were dry I would guess it was because they were baked too long ot to much flour added. These cookies have a chewy texture.
Little dry but may be my fault . I forgot to add vanilla. Added after all mixed. I also added more Carmel bits for more flavor. Will try again and maybe use a little less oatmeal.
