Mix butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl with electric beaters until smooth.
Stir in flour, both kinds of chocolate chips and pecans.
Stir thoroughly; this may take 4-5 minutes.
With a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and pack it down into the cookie scoop so dough adheres together well.
Place cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets approximately 3 to 4-inches apart.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Rotate cookies on racks every seven to eight minutes while baking.
Cool cookies about 5 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
NOTE: My cookies took about 18 minutes to bake completely.NOTE: You will probably need to stir the cookie dough about 5 minutes to get all the flour worked into it.NOTE: This recipe makes really large cookies.NOTE:Because this recipe uses so much flour, I usually keep stirring after the flour has been worked in so that the dough is no longer crumbly. I continue stirring until the dough starts adhering together in large clumps.
