Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

These are my husband's favourite cookies (and mine!). The cookie batter is just the right sweetness, balanced by the chocolate chips. What I like about these cookies are they are so quick to make and I always have these ingredients on hand. I make these at least twice a month!

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Yields: 28-34 cookies

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup chocolate chips
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar (minus about 2-3 tablespoons or so)
• 1⁄2 cup  loosely packed brown sugar (you can use a little less even)
• 1  egg
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1  cup quick-cooking oats
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F Beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla.
2. Add flour, oats and baking soda. Mix until blended.
3. Add chocolate chips and pecans.
4. Drop by level tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
5. Bake approximately 7-8 minutes (depends on your oven; you want these cookies to be tender coming out, but they should look like they are done baking).
