- Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat again.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine, scraping sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
- Add chocolate chips and chopped pecans, mixing just until evenly distributed.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop even amounts of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Roll dough into balls between your hands.
- Press additional chocolate chips and pecan pieces into tops of each cookie, if desired.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are just set and centers are still soft. Remove from oven.
