Category: Cookies

1 (24 oz) pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 (6 oz) pkg white baking bars, cut into 1/4- to 1/2 inch chunks
1 cup pecan or walnut halves

Heat oven to 350. Heat 11/2 cups of the chocolate chips in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Cool to room temperature, but do not allow chocolate to become firm.

Beat butter, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and melted chocolate until light and fluffy. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips, the white baking bar chunks and pecan halves.

Drop dough by level 1/4 cupfuls or large ice-cream scoop about 2 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until set (centers will appear soft and moist). Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
