Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

0 In a smaller bowl, combine and whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda.
1 Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar with a hand (or stand) mixer in a large bowl. Mix until the butter is light yellow and the sugars are well incorporated.
2 Crack in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well incorporated. The batter should be airy and smell luscious.
3 Pour in half of the dry ingredients, beating until combined. Add the other half, blending until the batter has come together.
4 Measure in the chopped pecans and bittersweet chocolate chips. Stir them into the batter with a spoon or a rubber spatula.
5 Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap, and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight.)
6 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
7 Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scooper to scoop out rounds of the chilled cookie dough.
8 Evenly space the dough  on the baking sheet, about 2" apart so the dough can spread as it bakes.
9 Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
10 Enjoy warm with a glass of your favorite kind of milk!
