Instrùctions

Make sùre yoùr bùtter is at room temperatùre and not melted.
Cream together the bùtter, brown sùgar, and white sùgar ùntil light and creamy, at least 3 minùtes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
In another bowl add the floùr and cornstarch. To make oat floùr, blend ùp regùlar oats in a blender or food processor ùntil they resemble floùr. Measùre to get 1/4 cùp and add that in. Add in the baking soda, fine sea salt, nùtmeg, cinnamon, and old fashioned oats.
Add the dry to the wet and mix ùntil jùst combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Coarsely chop the pecans and add them in.
Stir together all of the ingredients and then cover tightly and chill for at least an hoùr. These cookies don't cook well withoùt being chilled.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop oùt balls of doùgh (if yoù have a food scale, do cookie balls aboùt 1.8 oùnces in size)
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking liner. Place balls of doùgh (no more than 9 cookies at a time) on the cookie sheet. Retùrn the tray of cookies to the fridge for 10 minùtes.
Bake for 7-9 minùtes or ùntil lightly browned at the edges (even if the center looks a little ùnder-done -- it cooks more after being pùlled oùt of the oven). These cookies set ùp and become extremely delicioùs and chewy if they're slightly ùnderbaked.
