- 2 ⅓ cups (272 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ⅓ cup (105 g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup (75 g) chopped pecans
- ¾ cup (about 45 g) crushed pretzels
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until no dry streaks remain.
Stir in the chocolate chips, pecans, and crushed pretzels until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
