Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies

Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 2 1/2 dozen

Preheat oven to 350*

Cream together:

1 c. butter-you know me, no substitute, use the good stuff

1 c. packed brown sugar

1/2 c. granulated sugar

Add and mix well:

2 t. real vanilla

1 egg

Mix together and then add to above:

2 1/4 c. flour

1 t. baking soda

1/4 t. salt

Stir in:

6 oz. milk chocolate chips

1/3 c. pecans coursely chopped - keep those pieces big enough so you can taste them

1/2 c. shredded coconut - okay Jody, I know you don't like coconut so you can omit it at your house

This is a stiff dough. Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 min. at 350*. My oven took the 12 minutes to get them done enough. Cool 1-2 minutes then transfer to racks and cool completely except for that one you have to test while still semi-hot.
