  Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 Tbsp) shape them into a ball and place onto a parchment lined baking tray or a plate. Chill the scooped cookies for at least an hour, or once chilled, the cookies can be frozen for baking later.

• ▢
  Preheat the oven to 325ºF (162 C). Arrange the chilled scooped cookies onto parchment-lined baking trays, leaving 3 inches between the cookies. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until browned around the edges.

• ▢
  Cool the cookies on the baking tray. If baking cookie dough that has been frozen, arrange the frozen cookies on the baking tray and let them thaw for 20 minutes at room temperature before baking as above.

Notes

I used mini chocolate chips and I used 1 cup minus 2 tbsp chocolate chips for the above qty. I used only 1/2 cup chopped pecans. You can substitute pecans with walnuts/almonds.

Keep a close watch on the cookies after 12 mins. If you feel that the cookies on the back are getting baked faster, you may rotate the cookie sheet after 12-14 mins. 

I weighed each cookie to ensure the same size and uniform baking,
