Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
To the melted butter, whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the oats and chopped pecans. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Be sure to space them at least 2–3 inches apart, as the cookies will spread significantly while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
