Killer chocolate chip cookies

These cookies taste 10 times as good as they look.  Thank god I didn't discover how to do this years ago . . . these are a danger!

.75 c butter, melted

1 c brown sugar

1 c white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 c flour

chopped pecans (optional)

1 bag chocolate chips

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

Mix together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in rest of ingredients. Optional but helpful: refrigerate dough for a bit.  Bake on ungreased cookie sheet. Make golf-ball size balls and place 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes; 12 minutes for chewy and 15 minutes for crunchy. Let cool.
