1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups chopped pecans (optional, and I don’t usually add them)
Beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt and add to butter-sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Drop by teaspoonfuls on baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes.
