2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking soda
¼ cup old-fashioned oats
¼ tsp salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, or the equivalent of chocolate chunks
⅓ cup toasted pecans
⅓ cup dried cranberries
fleur de sel, for sprinkling
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
3. Using a whisk, electric mixer or stand mixer, beat together softened butter, white sugar and until fluffy.
4. Add vanilla and then one egg at a time and mix.
5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, oats and baking soda.
6. In a medium-low, non-stick pan, gently toast chopped pecans until just fragrant. Set aside.
7. Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, making sure not to over-mix.
8. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, toasted pecans and cranberries.
9. Use a rounded Tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to measure cookie dough.
10. Place the measured dough onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle a small pinch of fleur de sel on top of each cookie.
11. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the cookies have begun to brown on the bottom, but are still soft on top.
12. Let cool for 5 minutes before completely cooling on a rack.
