Here's a chocolate chip recipe I've baked many times. It appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle several years ago.

(NOTE: Michael Bauer is the Food Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. I don't agree with many of his restaurant reviews, but I really like his cookie recipe.)

Preheat oven to 325.

Beat together butter and sugars until light and creamy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla and eggs.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.

Using a small ice cream scoop or a ¼-cup measuring cup, drop batter onto a greased cookie sheet, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet before removing to rack Makes 30 cookies
