1 c. butter
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour

Process oats in a blender or food processor until ground like flour. Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until blended. Combine ground oats, flour, and next 3 ingredients. Add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
