Instructions
 

  • In an electric mixer, cream butter with sugar and brown sugar until soft and fluffy.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding the second.
  • Add vanilla, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; mix until fully incorporated.
  • Slowly add flour, mixing until fully incorporated, stopping mixer to scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-14 minutes, until cookies are golden brown.

To freeze;
