How to Make Andrea's Pecan Divines

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  7. Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  8. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
