I'm not a big fan of pecans, but I still really enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate flavor is really strong and the cookies are very chewy.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, they were very good.

These cookies are so delicious and easy to make. I love that I can use my food processor to make the dough. It's so much faster than creaming the butter and sugar by hand.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're chewy, chocolatey, and the pecans add a nice crunch. I highly recommend them!
