Instructions: Heat oven to 350 F. Line cookie sheet(s) with foil. Mix pecans, oats, and flour on a sheet of waxed paper. Stir sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat. Stir in nut mixture and vanilla and let cool 10 minutes. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet(s). Bake 8-9 minutes until cookies spread, look lacy and are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet(s) on wire rack 1- 1 1/2 minutes, until cookies harden slightly.

Using a broad metal spatula, remove to wire rack to cool completely. If cookies become too hard to remove from foil, return to oven for 15-30 seconds to soften, then try again.
