Mix butter until smooth and creamy.
1 cup butter
Stir in both sugars and mix for 2-5 minutes until light and creamy. The mixture will lighten in color, and the sugar crystals will have disappeared.
1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar
Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Then stir in the vanilla.
2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined.
2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
Stir in chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
2 cups pecans, 2 cups chocolate chips
Use a scoop to form balls of dough and place them on an ungreased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. To make jumbo-sized cookies, use a #16 scoop (¼ cup) or for smaller cookies, use a #40 size scoop (2 tablespoons).
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 12-14 minutes for the jumbo cookies and 10-12 minutes for smaller-sized cookies.
Allow cookies to cool for a minute then remove from baking sheet and continue cooling on a baking rack

Be certain to fully preheat your oven before baking cookies
Use a scoop to form evenly sized cookies
Give a bit of extra space on your cookie tray. I normally fit 12 cookies on a tray, but with these jumbo sized cookies, I just place 6 cookies.
Allow cookies to fully cool before storing in an airtight container
Use parchment paper on cookie sheets or bake on an ungreased cookie sheet
