Chocolate Chip Cookies (Milk Chocolate With Pecans)
"My own version of chocolate chip cookies. I like to make them small, about 1/2 the size you usually do- then they're bite size and unique. The milk chocolate along with dark brown sugar are a yummy variation on traditional chocolate chip cookies."

Good cookies! I didn't make them "mini" as I'm married to the original Cookie Monster, and when he saw me dropping them in the pan said "Why are these so small? I'll have to eat an entire pan!" So... they are on the bigger side. Love the dark brown sugar -- my favorite! I used Special Dark chocolate chips to make them extra special! Thanks for posting Cowgirly! Made for 2009 Spring PAC
