Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the wet mixture.

Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted pecans.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.

Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
