PECAN CHIP COOKIES

By sharon_rm2010

Pecans give these delicious chocolate chip cookies extra crunch, but even without nut, these are fabulous. For chewy cookies, make sure you don't overbake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup hard margarine, softened
• 1-1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Cream first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Beat until smooth.

Combine next 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add to margarine mixture in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition until no dry flour remains.

Add chocolate chips and pecans. Mix well. Drop, using 1 tbsp for each, about 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheets. Bake in 350 oven for about 10 minutes until edges are golden. Let stand on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
