Pecan Supremes



Another Mrs. Fields great cookie.  This is a heartier cookie with a bit of oatmeal and pecans.  I usually am not a nut fan in cookies, but this cookie is really good.  It uses dark brown sugar and you can really taste it in them.  A little change from the normal chocolate chip cookie.

Add the flour mixture, pecans and chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined.  Don't overmix.  Drop by rounded TBSP's onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Cook for 18-20 minutes.  Immediately transfer to cool surface.  (Cookies will not brown much because of the low oven temp.)
