Notes
These cookies keep well on counter covered for up to 2 days or in fridge for 5 days. They freeze well too in air tight container or zip lock for up to 2 months.
You may omit the pecans if you like or even switch and add walnuts. Just as good.
Once you remove from the oven you can bang the cookie sheet on the counter a few times for a slightly flatter cookie. Also add some more chocolate chips when you remove from the oven for an extra gooey treat.
