Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe also came from Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, but I made one or two minor alterations.
Love the cover of this book!


Cream:
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup coconut oil--or Crisco, but I'm trying not to use hydrogenated goop
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla

Add, mixing well:
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon each: baking soda and salt

Stir in:
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
12 oz. bag Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chill--if using coconut oil--since the dough will be a bit thinner than if using shortening. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drop by rounded spoonfuls--or cookie scoop--onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly before removing to cookie rack.
