Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° - rack in the middle position

Melt the butter and mix in the sugars. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt and mix. Add the eggs and stir well. Add half the flour, the chocolate chips and the chopped pecans. Stir well to incorporate. Add the rest of the flour and mix thoroughly.

Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets, 12 to a standard sheet. If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it slightly and try again. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until nicely browned.

Let cool 2 minutes, then remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
