The Inn's Chocolate Chip Cookie

Toast pecans for 6 minutes in a 350 oven. Set aside to cool. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl and set aside. Mix butter and two sugars with a mixer and add the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add vanilla, chocolate chips and pecans. Mix well. With the mixer on low, add the sifted flour mixture a little at a time. Scrape the sides! After all the flour is incorporated, mix on low for one minute more. Spray your cookie sheets with a non-stick spray or use parchment paper. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough and space about 2 inches apart. Oven bake in a 350 oven for 7 minutes, then switch levels in oven and bake for 7 more minutes. Remove, cool and serve. Yield: 4 dozen.
