Variations of Oatmeal, Pecan, & Chocolate Chip Cookies

For an extra flavorsome cookie infused with autumnal spices consider adding ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg and ¼ teaspoon cardamom. You also could add ½ teaspoon all-spice if you don’t have any cinnamon or ground cloves handy. These cookies are also good using other types of nuts, instead of pecans. Hazelnuts and walnuts are both tasty instead of pecans in this cookie recipe.
