Scoop the dough into medium balls, about 3 tablespoons per scoop. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie and limiting the number to 8 cookies per pan.
19
press
20
Use the bottom of a large measuring cup to press each dough ball into 2 ½-inch wide cookies. Reform the edges of the cookies into a circle as needed. If desired, press a few extra chocolate chips and chopped pecans into the top of the cookie dough.
21
bake
22
Bake the cookies one baking sheet at a time for 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes, until the edges are set and they are lightly browned on the surface. The centers should still be soft but not wet. Depending on your oven, you may want to rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
23
cool
24
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ⏱️ 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooking rack to finish cooling.
