½ cup brown sugar light
2 large eggs
1½ tsp vanilla extract
2¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

**Note - this recipe requires you to make the dough the day before

Combine the butter with the granulated and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat well, until creamy.

Slowly beat in the flour, salt & baking soda. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Fold in the chocolate chips and the pecans.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.

The Next Day

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Scoop tablespoon-size scoops of dough and roll them between your hands to round them out and then place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until they are just golden around the bottoms.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue to cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

*Baking note - do not put more uncooked dough on a hot baking sheet right out of the oven. This changes the way they bake. Keep the uncooked dough on a room-temperature sheet until ready to bake.
